Early Bird Black Friday Deals Live Now
Well great news everyone, you don't need to wait in those crazy long lines tomorrow to get some of the great deals that are out there. Circuit City, Best Buy, CompUSA, and Office Max are letting people access to their black friday deals online tonight, therefore avoiding the need to wait in long lines, possibly in the cold.
One of the most exciting things for us is the Circuit City deal for the
Seagate 500GB external Hard drive for only $80 after mail-in rebate. Anytime we get to add 500GB to our network for under 100 bucks we get excited, yeah we know, we have a problem, but with the ever expanding need for storage we say spend for the future. There is another deal from Circuit City of a 1TB external drive from Western Digital, but it is $200 after rebate so you can buy 2 external drives from Seagate( a better product ) for $40 less then the Western Digital Drive.
Circuit City has a bunch of other deals that might appeal to someone looking to add a few gadgets to their home network. How about a 2GB memory stick for $7.99! We have found that having a bunch of memory sticks around the house is a good thing. We use them all over the place, from helping to run our
Mvix system to being the OS for our
FreeNAS box. For $7.99 it is hard to resist.
The other product of interest from Circuit City is the
computer case from Thermaltake. We use one of these for our main NAS server and we can't say enough about them. This is the best case we have ever owned. Yes it weighs a ton, but it has a ton of expansion inside as well as more fans than you can imagine. We have 6 drives in ours and they are constantly cooler then they were in their previous case.
Going to these sites right now is like waiting in the line tomorrow though as most of them are either slugish or non-responsive, but going this route might allow you to sleep your thanksgiving turkey hangover off. Here is a list of 4 of the stores that have their sales online right now:
