B. Friday 👎

I saw some great software deals, but everything else was a joke.

I've been watching pc part prices. 

They jacked everything up, then gave a discount to what the original price was. And on memory,  better get some KY while it's on sale. 

It's gone up 200% plus (ram and drives) and none of it was on sale. 

If I want to build the system I've been piecing together for months now I literally have to cut the memory and m2 drive capacity in half to get slightly higher pricing then I could 6 months ago on double the capacities.

Frustrating.

From what I've read and heard, prices will stay high and maybe even keep climbing until the A.I. bubble pops -- and who knows if that will actually happen anytime soon?

They'll drop is no one is buying.

I have no desire to build a new system.

That sounds like my property taxes. The county cut the tax rate by almost half then doubled the appraisal value.
