Having a Fry's and Microcenter near you is bad for your wallet

*sigh*

I've done WAY WORSE with Amazon, Newegg, MWave and TigerDirect.

Just no photographic proof.

Why do you need all those CPUs?

 

[nonameo]

Having a fry's near you is good for your wallet if you are planning on buying a combo anyway. Having weak self control is bad for your wallet, and having a fry's around makes it even worse. It's like putting lemon juice on a cut.

 

[iluvdeal]

I assume you bought all those CPUs to resell so it should be good for your wallet? Or are you running your own server farm?

Some may mock him, some may nod their heads in understanding, then there's me...I immediately tracked down his FS/FT post. Just an i3 though, so disappointed.

newegg confirmed that I have spent over $31,000 with them....

Frys only has $5k of my money....

Better than a drug habit that's for sure.

 

[Dadofamunky]

Or booze... it is definitely an addiction tho...

 

[ahenkel]

I'm glad Fry's is an hour away from me now. I worked there once and I think half my paycheck went right back to my employer a lot of the time.

How do you get a grand total out of Newegg?
I have a few dozen pages with those guys on my order history.

Geeks are my worst. Spent about gadzillion on Tyan barbone servers about 18 months ago... all now happily living in South America.

Sometimes you gotta wonder if a drug habit would be cheaper...

ROFL..

kinda like what a lot of people do to me when they hear me talk of new gen coming out.

Usually that thing that gets replaced is still considered "new gen" but to me 6 months old news. :X

LOL unfortunately my stuff doesnt last long enough to merit a FS/FT.

It gets sold the moment i say hey are u interested in X?

Microcenter is my Disneyland.

 

[HeXen]

Do overweight people say the same thing about grocery stores? C'mon, have some common sense if you think your spending too much money. If its extra cash and its what you enjoy, then whats the problem?
If your behind on bills because of it, its no different than any other money managment issue.

Aha, very nice tower of Intel there.

 

[dark0anima]

wow O_O

 

[Aknosis]

How much could you save if they were all AMD?

 

[AkumaX]

haha, actually i should have included those boxes... let's see... 2 x AthII 425, 1 x PhII 925, 1 x AthII 620, 1 x AthII 630, etc..

+ some OEM chips around

and most of the stuff is gone, i just still have the retail boxes and some HSF's - anyone want them?

which reminds me, i gotta see if i should pick up that E3300 + Biostar (G41) combo (it's a "hidden" deal supposedly this week)

 

[Aknosis]

Rofl, do you hear what you are saying?

I would be the same way if it wasn't for my wife

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

You can hide behind that wall and throw rocks at AMD

 

[VirtualLarry]

Lol. At one point, I had two Q6600, a Q8200, two Q9400, two Q9550, and about four E5200s, and some other chips. Should have taken a picture too.

Heck yeah! I've got my fake plastic heatsink mold and blank pads of paper all set! Gotta give IPEX a call.

Unless we know you, then we ask what's the current Aigo shipping time look like? 6-12 months?
