Seems like every shop you guys are trying to buy from are trying to back out of their BF deals

Yup! Except amazon... They haven't backed out on my deals, although they're non-headphone purchases that haven't been shipped out yet... Whatever!

 

[bowei006]

Yeah i read what happened

Sorry guys. That sucks.

@borisu
Holy schiit, i just realized you are past 5k, dam

Grr, :mad:
Beach audio, or buy dig, or whoever the hell sold me the AD900s at $79 said it was a price error and they claimed to have canceled my order, but I went into eBay and PayPal and they hadn't canceled/refunded there yet. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

At least they're not sending you a box of condoms. :rolleyes:

I must be focused on what I want to get next. No headphone deals have forced their way to my wallet. I just got a pair of shoes for now. Hurray for my wallet!

I wouldn't mind that...
@joe: those are significantly more than what you paid for them...
I'm also fairly confident my Hd600s beat them out in one area or another...

I should be using the time my waifu is out to play some much awaited Sono Hanabira but these $44 open air headphones are sounding so good playing music that I can't stop :basshead:

Well I guess I need to check how well they play ecchi sounds too so I better get cracking

LOL. Well as I used to say... HI-FI headphones to hear all the details in dat H,

LOL play h-game with open headphones? 

I would do that. Just so I can hear when anyone is coming near my room...!

Man scroo soundearphones. I can't apply 2 gift cards to one purchase? That's dumb as hell. Canceled my order and now I'm not going to have any money to buy anything this holiday because of them -_-;;

What, you can't? What kind of broken store is that.
At the store I work at, I've once had to pass 4 gift cards in the same bill for a customer that had a bunch of $25 cards.
Not accepting more than 1 gift card is dumb... you sure? (some stores still do it but yeah...)

Ordered! Shipping was $60 though Dx


@Manveru:
Not sure where my quote went... but yeah, CPU, RAM, soundcard unless you are using a USB interface recording unit.
Won't even need highly expensive/performing CPU. I'd grab anything >2.2Ghz >1core with about 8GB of RAM and be done with it.
We'll see how panda responds, but recording has not been an excessively demanding task IME.
Heck maybe a AM3+ + FX-4100 + 8GB DDR3 ==> under $300 would do the job. If the PC is going to be in the same room, then you might want to look into a quieter case I guess, just in case.

When clicking 'add to cart' I get a 404.

Basically 300 if you flip the itunes card to someone who likes apps.

Meh. I don't have anybody to sell it to though.

Sucks to be you.

Sucks to be you.

In the end it turned out to only 404 me when there are less than 10 items in the cart. I can order 10, but I can't order 9 or less.

Craigslist is a thing... Just hope whoever is interested in them isn't a crackhead or serial killer...

Anyone can hear what you're playing too though

 
Srsly?  The $60 shipping for a $69 headphone part sounds like you're trolling me right back though

I'll actually be doing mixing/mastering more than recording. Tens of of fancy plugins, maybe even approaching 100 depending on the song, all running at the same time which is more intense than just recording, but still not too insane I think.
 
Dunno. I've been thinking about just going for Core i3. It should still be within my budget, and I want to get the best possible, even if something a little cheaper might be "good enough." Google results seem to indicate that it's generally better than some comparable stuff from AMD (correct me if I'm wrong), and the price difference from what I can tell so far is pretty negligible. RAM seems to be quite cheap so I'm not too worried about that. A 1TB Barracuda is like $80.
 
I'm not sure just what kind of power supply I'd need? I saw a Corsair CX430 for $17 after rebate?
 
I think the thing I understand the least is how to pick a good motherboard.

Do you know how to build a computer? If you do, then it should be straight forward and will get you better upgradeability for parts and a bit more performance. A pre made laptop also works. There are some decent $400 pc's out there right now.
 
Do you game or want to a tiny bit? Then AMD A8 or A10 depending on budget. 
Just performance? i3 Ivy Bridge
 
For such a small budget and need, a $40 case with built in PSU would do fine. Or if you can get a free case from a friends old un used or broken dell, then yes, that $17 PSU (or just re using the one found in many computers) will be fine. You can get a free case or not spend money on a case and PSU if you ask around. Most old desktops use 300-450W PSU's with bad efficency but nothing that would affect a sub $400 computer.
 
At such a low price. It is a brain easy task to choose one. You should only use newegg or tiger direct or amazon of course. That already limits what you have. I recommend newegg, and then you look at what slots and ports you want on it. It should be around $50. Micro ATX at this price point gives better price to performance than a $50 ATX mobo.
