72 hour pre-black friday deals at newegg.

As usual whenever I go to this site I build an enormous wish-list in my head of stuff I could use/want but it always ends up building on itself:

External HD for my music (right now i'm using my aging laptop as my music backup)
New HD for my laptop (could buy a whole new system but that's the only thing that has gone completely poor and I'm about to put Ubuntu on it anyway)
SSD (getting cheap enough that I could finally get one for the OS and have a good ol' SATA for everything else)
New SATA drive (if i'm gonna get a SSD I'll need to rebuild the comp anyway and will need a new drive and make the old one a spare)
RAM (if i'm gonna rebuild my system, more memory always helps)

etc.
etc.

I assume the "i" is the improved version? I was about to get an H100.

Yes, it is the new version with better pump, tubing and fans + Corsair Link support. Definitely get the i version, it is much better than old vanilla H100.

My mom is getting me this for Christmas:

Creative Sound Blaster Z

And my dad is getting me this:

Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohms

No more X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty or Philips over the ear clip headphones that fail every three months

The Sound Blaster Z is supposed to sound even better than the Titanium HD which has their highest SNR right now

I can't see my way to installing a Sound Blaster card when HDMI works just fine. The only way you'd get me to buy an audio card is if I wanted to write music on my new PC but didn't feel like ripping it out of my old. And it wouldn't be a Creative card.

e: Actually, I hadn't even thought about Creative for a long time until this was brought up. And now that I'm thinking about it, I'm getting pissed off all over again. Ubisoft, I can forgive now and then and buy another game from. Creative? Screw those guys sideways.

Read up on the Audigy driver fiasco.

Links in this post will explain: http://florafaunarocks.wordpress.com/20 … defensive/

Besides which, HDMI and modern onboard are both quality, and there are better "sound cards" out there for production value.
