Looking to get something around the following.

ya, that's a great linking capability you have there. and no where in that thread did i see where it is against the policy of the board to ask a question where the best deal to get computer parts from would be.

What is a good topic for a new thread?

New threads are for posting the deals you have found.

Is that not clear?

 

[leoric]

actually no. it's not clear. call me stupid but a "good topic" isnt exactly exclusive, now is it. Now if there was something that said "and only good topics may be posted" then yes. But no where does it say anything close to that.

from the FAQ thread:

What is a good topic for a new thread?

New threads are for posting the deals you have found. We also have four ongoing threads at the top of the forum for other types of posts:

* ~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~ to ask for, or post information about, current rebate programs.
* ~~~~ IWANNA ~~~~ to ask for hot deals on the items you want.
* ~~~~ How Do I ~~~~ to ask how to price match, etc.
* ~~~~ Brag & Moan ~~~~ to rave about your great experience or complain about how badly you were treated.

If you are looking for deals on particular items, please use our search engine.

Umm...you didn't post in the IWANNA section. You posted in the regular Hot Deals section.

Just use newegg -- good prices and great service. It will save you some headaches if you have to return something. Its worth paying a few dollars more at newegg than buying from another online store. If you ever have to return anything, you will thank yourself for ordering from newegg

Absolute moron. Just get Mommy to buy you a $3000 Alienware, you're far too stupid to assemble your own PC.
