I'm in the process of doing a complete system upgrade, and was all set to buy on Sunday... then decided to wait till a couple of checks cleared to me so I didn't have to withdraw anything from savings to temporarily cover the expense.(Christmas presents all seem to hit at once hehe.)
Well, I should have bought Sunday, as it turns out... newegg doesn't have instant savings on the things I was looking at as of today, and that makes about a $50-70 difference. I'm definitely buying before the 31st as that is the deadline for about $100 in mail-in rebate. However, I was wondering if I should just bite the bullet and order it today, or if I should wait till after X-mas to see if they run specials.
I haven't really tracked how newegg does business, but since the demand for individual components doesn't exactly rise right before x-mas, I can't imagine them dropping that much, or running that many specials. But then again, I've never paid attention. Anyone have input? Buy today, or the 26th/27th?
