Toshiba maybe cheap but DOA rate is very high... Plus warranty from Eternal Asia (PUI!) Do consider again....

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...9407&cm_re=toshiba_2tb-_-22-149-407-_-Product

And where are you going to get that R9-280X, if brand new from shops rather you get R9-290 for just a couple of $10s more.

Thx man

Toshiba bcos last time i worked for them, so cant say too much detail :o

r9 280x is from 2nd hand. saw some good deals and already contacted seller and pending deal, personally after researching and comparing. i still like the amd r9 280x. even though it is power hungry.

am getting cm n200 for myself due to space constraint and getting sharkoon for my friend

i placed order for fsp aurum using te app. 1 set with AAPROMO promo code. 1 set with the NEWAPP20 (bundle in a sd card to match 100 spending)

samsung evo 850 cannot use coupon. as i was at the check out site, it stated this cart cannot use any coupon
