Here we go again, PNY Optima Series 240GB Solid State Drive - 2.5" Form Factor SSD, SATA III, 60,000 iOPS Read - SSD7SC240GOPT-RB then Rebate makes it $89.99

Wow great find I do believe I will order one :big_grin:

I don't know much about these. I might have to open the pocketbook again. Can never have too many drives.

I gone and done it. Bought 2 of them.

lol that's normal when I am on my regular job I surf newegg, amazon, directron, mwave looking for a motherboard or CPU deal I'm glad Rich found this I'm actually going to buy one.

I did and I have no clue what I will do with it either. I have been thinking of upgrading my laptop (which I seldom use) but its a Sony Touchscreen 14" that is so fast now I can barely see the screens change with a 7200 Rpm hard drive and 16 gb ram on a Gen 4 Intel cpu, it actually scares me to think it will be faster.

I am building a new server and little by little I am buying the parts. These 2 drives and the 3 I bought the other day will go into it. These 2 in raid 1 as boot drive and the other 3 in raid 10 for database.

 

Now Rich, work your magic and find a deal on some Xeon processors.

I'm looking!

I just turned around and bought another of these as I get occasional BSODs in my main desktop and I have a 2 year old Crucial SSD in it I don't trust and its a 120 gb anyway which has been sufficient because my files are on a server but for $89 as a test, why not!!!! You know even $109 is a great price actually.

Can't pass up deals like this.

I have been looking for your Xeon cpu and do not see a lot and I am thinking about replacing my HP server with a custom build and I don't see more than $25-40 off probably because its not a huge demand item Bob. What cpu are you looking for?

They aren't in high demand, but, every once in a while you'll see a deal on them. I'd love to get an E-5, but, they're still a bit pricey. I'm looking for a couple E-3 V2. They are starting to come down in price.

I bought this motherboard, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131886 a couple weeks ago. Once the E-5 comes down a bit more I'll buy a couple. I'm looking at memory for it now.

Nice board Bob. I see $15 off a few E3 but nothing to back up the truck to.

I come home this afternoon and my front porch looked like a computer parts warehouse. I have 5 drives, 1 motherboard and a power supply lined up in a nice neat row.

I can top that this morning I couldn't open the door because there was a box big enough to live in from D&H (5- $22 Antec micro cases, 3 motherboards, 2 processors and 2 video cards....and remember I said they never ship in the mfgr's boxes), and when I finally wrestled that in the door behind it was a box with 2 Ssd drives followed by one with 4 power supplies not to mention another little box with 6 double sticks of ram. I was worn out before breakfast and I thought my GSD was going to flood the room before I could clear the door to get her out!

 

I wish I could have turned everyone on to the $22 Antec cases but that was a D&H Special and you gotta have an account there to get that.

Last month they also had a deal for $42 Toshiba 500 Gb 5 year warranty drives and I filled a cabinet with those suckers. I am struggling to find room for all this stuff. Cindy has seen my space though I have rebuilt since she was here and its a lot better but this is still overwhelming.

Well, you still have the walk in closet, Rich. :eek:

We haven't been able to walk into that for years Cindy!

My bad. :confused: You can barely get into my computer closet either. Although it's all organized, getting to it is another story. o_O
