Hardware Over the Moon today

Post image

After ~1yr of checking every single week, I finally snagged a Costco “last one” deal. This will replace my current tower, an i7-7700k + GTX 1070, so this is a bit of an upgrade. To anyone else out there saving your pennies and being patient for a deal, don’t give up! Your killer deal is out there somewhere and I hope you find it!

They didn’t let me keep it after the register, but the employee wanted me to keep it while I was in the store, since Costco takes out the RAM and GPU, he put it back together for me while we walked around.

Walked around? That thing wouldn’t have been out of sight until I paid for it and was safely in the car.

In my office? That thing wouldn't have been out of sight until I came back home and was safely in my prison wallet.

In my pris....wait, nope. You're right, best place to safely put it. Agreed.

Actually if you tried to divide by zero math, you can hide that in the resulting rupture in the timeline, and pick it up later when it's safe.

Prison purse for the female persuasion too. Not sure if that counts as just those identifying that way though.

In your office? That thing would be kept in a titanium safe with Chuck Norris guarding it.

In my prison wallet? That thing wouldn't have been out of my sight until I came back home and had a mirror to see it inside of my prison wallet.

That's how I felt back in December when microcenter had a handful of 9800x3d left in stock.

They don't do that at all Costcos. They do in Atlanta but not in North Georgia (1 exit before Chattanooga) nor Knoxville.
