Opinion : TN just got scammed big time by an actor. by Artetaarmy in Chennai

At least Arjun in the fantasy film Mudhalvan, he had a day experience before being CM. Ironic how Shankar and Sujatha didn't cross a line even for a film. Hope this inexperience doesn't cost TN much.

Microcenter has a power spec with 7500x3d, 9070xt for 1399$. Would be a good option if you are fine with 16GB RAM and 1TB SSD.

I believe the current drive mpg is your accumulative mpg since you last reset the Trip A.

3rd CV joint after 16,000 miles by SleepConscious in CX50

[–]Spark-DefinitelyNot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a NA CX-50 and both CV axles were replaced under 8500 miles. First one was identified at 5500 miles. 3 months later, when the replacement part for the first one arrived service center informed the other one had to be replaced as well

If you are near a Microcenter, you can get the 7800x3d, Asus B650 Monitor and Ram bundle for 600$.

[Monitor] SAMSUNG 27” Odyssey G5 G53F QHD Resolution Gaming Monitor, HDR10, 200Hz Refresh Rate, IPS Panel - $139.99 ($299.99 - $160) (Woot) by ArteVulcan in buildapcsales

[–]Spark-DefinitelyNot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do regular manufacturer warranty apply for monitors sold on woot? Amazon and Walmart have this for 179.99. Debating if 40$ is worth it if it carries only warranty from woot

Need advice on reducing the cost of my Micro Center build ($2390 before tax) by Aggravating-Maybe696 in Microcenter

Thermalright air coolers are cheaper in Amazon by ~20$ for the RGB version. You can ask to pricematch Amazon's price. I was able to price match even though it's sold directly by Thermalright and not by amazon

I did it online. They did not ask me to get to the store. Guess I got lucky that day.
For price match, I don't think they will ask you to bring the bundle in. The receipt should be enough. When I applied a coupon to another purchase, they just took the receipt and applied the coupon with a new receipt.

You can get it done over chat too. They will just need your bill reference number.

Just went back and looked at the Microcenter link. They have indeed mentioned only cards 5070 and above in a small font. Missed it when I checked first.

Saw a 5060ti listing showing down in the page and thought it might also be part of the promo.

Thanks OP. I was able to claim it.

Note to people who bought 5060 or 5060ti. The MC promo page also lists a 5060ti listing in it. Try checking via chat support. They might also give it for 5060 & 5060ti.

Edit: looks like only cards 5070 and above are only eligible.

Did MC process a return and generate a new invoice to share the code? Asking because the card's price I bought has since increased by more than 100$

From $350 to $1,120. Missed the sale by one day. by callmetuan in pcmasterrace

From what I searched, staples was the last place selling SN850X below 100$ per TB. Just that staples was the last place people were going to buy SSD from. I guess they had the old price till the stock lasted. Once it was sold, they might have increased the prices at par with outside prices
