    I haven't researched deals yet - but if there's any good deals on monitors or hard drives online I'll prolly buy.

    Bestbuy has a nice deal on a 3TB external Seagate Goflex HD for $99 that I plan to swipe.

    You can usually rip the drive out of those and slap them in your comp. Although most of the time they are the low rpm drives so do some research before you buy one for a main drive or something you might want some speed on.

    My money for my comp should be ready by cyber Monday so I will see what's for sale. I'm not expecting much though. Canadian retailers have a bad habit of raising prices the day before and then putting the stuff "on sale" at the same price it was before on those kinds of mass "sale" days.

    a Drobo S and matching 2tb hard drives for my XBMC setup!!!! Woot!

    Kyoji- Thos Seagate external 3tb's.... you think the actual hard drive's could be ripped outa the enclosures?
    Because, 15tb of RAID would be way more awesome than 10!

    Ahh second edit! - Enigma - I did the same thing!! A few weeks ago i got these!

    It was a tossup between yours, my AKG Quincy 701's, and the also fantastic Sennnheiser HD 650. I'm a big HQ sound guy! You'll have to let me know how they sound!

    Im hoping that the Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series sound cards go on sale agian, Newegg had them for $105 shipped a couple of times and some other stores sold it for $110 before.

    If it doesnt happen though I dont mind waiting, I have been investing money in physical gold and silver lately and prices are really low right now so I will have more money to spend on gold and silver instead.

    Im also hoping Ill see a few things on my family's Christmas lists go on sale during Cyber Monday. I want to get all my shopping done early this year.



    lol wtf? I was debating the exact same 3 headphones! I love Sennheisers, the sound is just really great to me with how laid back they are and the great mids. But I have had Sennheisers my last 2 pairs so I kinda wanted to try something different. I was really leaning toward the Q701's because lots of people say they are good and I like the sound curves on the EQ they have, but a lot of people said they seem to drop off on the bass a bit. So thats why I went with the 880's. Those ones have much more bass than the Q701's do but also try to keep things pretty flat frequency wise. The only drawback of them is the mids are supposedly slightly scooped sounding, sort of the opposite of Sennheisers. Im really looking forward to hearing them. If I dont like the sound signature Ill just save for some HD800's

    don't buy it from walmart. The stock lens that comes with it is a piece of s***

    Actually, make sure the lens that comes with ANY of the bundle packs isn't the stock lens; I've caught Best Buy doing the same thing too..

    Yeah, I would have thought so too - this is a terrible time to be buying hard drives with the Thailand floods and all.

    Myself I don't think I'll be buying anything - there's nothing I really need at the moment.
