I like to keep a config of the next PC I want to buy, and then update it regularly as new components become available and prices drop.
I noticed a big price drop (in Australian dollars) between April and May, here's
1st April:
$445 - Intel Core2 Duo E6600
$195 - Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P
$268 - 2 x Seagate 320 GB SATA II
$369 - 2 GB C4 Corsair TWinx
$184 - Antec Sonata II
$69 - Pioneer 212D Black
$275 - Powercolor 256MB X1950 Pro VIVO
=====================================
Total: $1805
10th May:
$305 - Intel Core2 Duo E6600
$175 - Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P
$210 - 2 x Seagate 320 GB SATA II
$289 - 2 GB C4 Corsair TWinx
$182 - Antec Sonata II
$59 - Pioneer 212D Black
$269 - Powercolor 256MB X1950 Pro VIVO
=====================================
Total: $1489
That's quite a price drop in just 1 month. With the $316 savings, I could upgrade the specs to a GeForce 8800 GTS 320 MB and have some left over for an UPS.
