I would be really tempted if it was for Red Dead 2.

But you have to really try and use local comparison sites, and manually go through some sites, as otherwise you get something as random as Wallmart before your local stores
You Canadians use French right? Try that

Iād love to snap up some of these deals, but I have to repair my bloody porch. Home ownership aināt all itās cracked up to be.
But just yesterday I saw a 1TB m.2 SSD for $139. Just SATA thoughā¦

Damn, thatās a pretty good deal, considering. And who honestly needs more than 6gbps? Iāve barely noticed a difference in my NVMe vs SATA SSDs.

Red and gold PS4 controllers are 39.99 at Walmart.
If you are a first time shopper at Walmart you can use this coupon code and get $10 off. The coupon can be used on anything. But item must be more then $35.
PS4 controller Black is $29.99 at dell.com

Those have pretty solid drives inside. Good for NAS.

Iāve had one of these for about a year now. @SgtAwesomesauce is right about good drives inside them. Not noisy like some spinning disk externals, either.
Has anyone seen a good deal on a UPS? Have no idea what the VA is of the unit I have (āstoleā it from work so probably not that great). Saw a nice deal on a 1500VA from CyberPower that was Pure Sinewave but alas its no longer valid. Main components would be computer(Ryzen 7 @ 3.9GHZ, 1080Ti), steering wheel, pedal, speakers.
Are you sure? I am kind of tempted to gut one.
The higher capacity ones seem to be WD Red, which are intended for use in a NAS. Just donāt write anything to it before you take it out of the enclosure (hardware encryption, although Iāve read you have to enable it in the software).
And maybe have some Kapton tape ready, just to be sure (google āhdd 3.3v issueā).

This needs TLER enabled on boot, but the ones you get will probably have TLER enabled by default.

Any time.
Amazon Germany still has the 250GB and 500GB Crucial MX500 on sale for 39ā¬ and 69ā¬.
And a 64GB microSDXC from SanDisk for 10ā¬.
Any suggestions on where I can find some ācheapā (relatively speaking) refurbished servers? I was looking around places such as Ebay and wondered if there were any better places.
I do not believe my local flea market (which is only open on Sunday anyways) has such a thing.
My requirement is that they have 3.5" HDD bays though and probably at least 8 CPU cores (2x4 or 2x6 CPU cores is allowed).
$399.99 for a reference blower style Vega64.
