2010 Holiday Tech Deals

[LiNuX]

This idea came to me about 2 weeks ago when I had several friends ask me to find good tech stuff for them because they know that when it comes to computer stuff and gadgets, I usually find the best deals whether it's on newegg, ebay, amazon, etc. So I helped out a few of those people and they got a few gadgets and so did I. So I decided to make a series of videos where I show good 2010 Holiday deals relating to technology and gadgets.

This is the First Video (Week 1) where I cover a bluetooth headset, flash drive, two TVs, and a GPS. I own the Bluetooth as well as the flashdrive so I provided a bit of a review and I'm thinking about getting one of the TVs for my parents and to upgrade my current GPS to the one I talk about. So even though I made the videos for others, it's a good way for me to kind of speak to myself when it comes to deciding what to buy.

You may notice not so great edits. The clips span over several days and to make it connect, I made some amateur edits. But enjoy, these are great deals and I hope to get more of the series up in the coming weeks. I plan to get up 4 videos by Christmas hoping to cover at least 20 products. I'm planning to make my next video about computer parts only (CPU, Hard Drive, Graphics card, etc.).

Happy Holidays!

Here is week 2 of the series. I cover two hard drives, a PSU, RAM, CPU, and a motherboard. All computer parts this week which serve as good upgrades or a good set of parts for a new cheap and pretty good computer build:

Sorry if the sound is quieter, I made the videos mostly on my windows XP and laptop since I was having issues with my win7 install over the past week or so.

Happy Holidays!

That's what I'm trying to do. Probably going to get the hard drive I was talking about in the last vid. $40 for 500gb is good - all I need to keep backups for now really.

[LemonRising]

That is good... hmmmmm.....
Its all tempting but i gotta save up for my new tablet D:

Cool vids bro, I bought that Flash drive at the beginning of the month for my xbox 360, as a memory card and just for more HD space without buying one of Microsoft's over priced HD's.

I just wish I could have afforded the 2TB HD, I could really use some more HD space with all the videos I make.

That's cool. And yeah, I know about the videos now :) I have 3 hard drives in my current PC with 2 lying around as externals and they're all at least 3/4 full. I have website stuff too so it's not just the videos - so I'm thinking about getting the 2tb hard drive - but my only problem is it's slow rpm.

So I'm gonna wait for Christmas eve because I know these sites will have a big sale that day - hopefully I can catch a good hdd then. If I find one, I'll post a link here. (1tb or higher).

[LiNuX]

I said I'd post here if I find a good hdd deal and here is one:

Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148433&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL011311&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL011311-_-EMC-011311-Index-_-InternalHardDrives-_-22148433-L0A)

It's $55 after this code: EMCKJJG22

It's 1tb. Fast Seagate. The 2TB earlier was just $25 but $25 can mean quite a bit of savings at times.

Here is another one: Newegg.com - Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31500341AS 1.5TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL021111&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL021111-_-EMC-021111-Index-_-InternalHardDrives-_-22148337-L0D)

1.5TB for $60 with this coupon: EMCKHJJ34

I'm thinking about getting it even though I don't need it. If I get it, I'll probably get another enclosure and turn it into an external drive. And I don't have any room in my current PC. I might remove the laptop hdd that I have in here and place that.

Even though I don't need it, I wouldn't mind having the extra space for the future.

[Diligence109]

my goodness... I actually need a new internal drive for my external hard drive enclosure (the one in there kicked the bucket :()

I've been out of touch with prices on hard drives... is this a good deal? I'm feeling lazy about actually researching it right now.

[LiNuX]

Yeah, it's the cheapest I've seen a 1.5tb.

There are 2tbs now for $80 if you have an extra $20 to spend. But in a per gigabyte value, it's the same (or proportional).
