 Posted: Thu Oct 02, 2008 9:01 pm Post subject: Black Friday and computer prices |
 |
|
ive been thinking about when to buy the parts for a new computer, and ive been looking at sales during labor day and stuff. wat im most curious about, however, is the prices during black friday. is it a big price cut, or is it just a regular labor-day-like sale?
ive tried searching for the previous year's ad for fry's, but failed to find one.
not only that, the prices of CPU's are definitely going to fall next year becuz of the upcoming i7 processors. is it smart to wait for the prices of mediocre CPU's to fall next year, or is it better to buy one during black friday or another sale?
finally, a $500 budget computer build would help a lot. ive come up with a gernal list, but im not sure what products are the best for OC'ing.
thx guyss
