JackBauer Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 They changed the limit from 3 per customer to 2! Don't get me started. When I saw, prior to 4PM EST, that the price changed in my shopping cart, I changed from 2 to 3. After 4pm, the limit was 3. I go through checkout around 4:30 or so, and see that the USB drive that I planned on using for unraid is the only item NOT shipping from NJ (I'm in NY). So I go back to my shopping cart to remove it figuring I'll make do with one of the other USB drives at my disposal, and if there's a problem I'll just pick one up locally... But when I go back to my shopping cart, the damn thing takes #3 out of my cart. Ugh. If I just pressed "submit" I would have gotten in on 3 of them. Oh well. In 2+ months when I need another 2TB drive, the prices should be similar. Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 What a disappointing Black Friday sale. Besides the 2 TB Seagate, these are the only two deals I'm even remotely considering: Antec Nine Hundred - $90, or $60 after MIR - Definitely a good deal at $60, but I'm not sure I want to deal with a MIR, especially such a large one. ZOTAC IONITX-F-E Intel Atom 330 (1.6GHz, dual-core) NVIDIA ION Mini ITX Motherboard/CPU Combo - $140, or $110 after MIR - Seems pretty solid, and I've had nothing but good experiences with Zotac in the past. Theoretically could support up to 9 drives. Should also work well as an HTPC due to the ION GPU. Again, not sure I want to deal with a $30 rebate, but this one at least seems a bit more worthwhile.

dengar Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I was right there at 4pm EST and got my 3 Seagate along with the Budget Box parts. Hopefully I'll have my Unraid server up by next week Quote Link to comment
flips Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I was in for one too. We'll see if there is anything else that comes up in the next few days. I'm still looking for an external drive to put in a firebox. I'm debating on that $50 drive from staples... That's probably the best deal out there. Quote Link to comment
JustinAiken Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 I've done many rebates... and the only time I've ever been screwed and not got my rebate was an Antec case. Quote Link to comment
madpoet Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Well, bought 2. I am getting close to maxxing my new 4224 build. Soon I'll have to start swapping 1TB and 1.5TB for 2TB Quote Link to comment
wreck Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 In for 1 and an icy dock 3-in-2 to put it in.. Hooray for Black Friday! Quote Link to comment
Muck Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Pulled the trigger on 2 as well. Quote Link to comment
queeg Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 I just bought 2 more for a total of 3 from Newegg and 1 from TigerDirect. Quote Link to comment
mcai3db3 Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Also bought me a Seagate Barracuda, now to check out if there are any WD20EARSesque special rules before I put this in a server! Altho, no worry of that anytime soon, given the lack of decent 8sata h55/7 lga1156 mobos. Quote Link to comment
Paak Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Dang! was really looking forward to see if I could pick a HTPC up on the cheap. Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Also bought me a Seagate Barracuda, now to check out if there are any WD20EARSesque special rules before I put this in a server! Altho, no worry of that anytime soon, given the lack of decent 8sata h55/7 lga1156 mobos. No real rules other then the preferred firmware update (forced if need be) to CC35. Quote Link to comment
JackBauer Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Strange - I placed a $950 order late Wed afternoon at NewEgg. Still has not shipped as of 10PM. Yet my $17 USB order from yesterday shipped at like 10AM this morning. I'm not complaining b/c I know this is a busy time and all - and quite frankly they are usually impeccable about everything... Just thought it was strange. (They both are shipping out of NJ too) Quote Link to comment
roastdawgg Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 You win. I placed 3 orders at NewEgg for a total of $450, an order for $70 at TigerDirect, and $20 at MonoPrice. All of it shipped today. Next week will be great. Quote Link to comment
Bags Posted November 27, 2010 Author Share Posted November 27, 2010 Same here I ordered WD2tB EARS 2 Seagates 1 Lg Blue ray burner and the Seagate theater+Hd. Still hasn't shipped. My buddy ordered 1 blue ray drive and 1 seagate and already shipped same day. Oh well. Thats what we get for buying to many items. Quote Link to comment
JackBauer Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 Yeah but two things suck: 1) The Antec 1200 I ordered has a $40 rebate for purchases made today. I lost out on that, and it hasn't even shipped. 2) They already charged my CC, so I paid for it, yet it's going to be probably Monday before it ships. Again though NE sets the standard for being a good merchant. These are pretty minor all things considered. Quote Link to comment
WeeboTech Posted November 27, 2010 Share Posted November 27, 2010 I scored two seagate 2TB's too. 2 2tb 2! lOl. Quote Link to comment
