Get new comp on boxing day?

[goldenchessboard]

Is it a good idea to wait to get my new comp on boxing day?

or is it chaos.. was going to get it custom built. tigerdirect / canadacomputers.

would i save a lot of money by doing this? is it worth it =S

Boxing day? Is that a new name for black friday? :lol:

i think this is a personal decision. Do you like crowds? can you fight and elbow with the best grannies? all this well pushing a cart?
THEN YES!!!!
WAIT TILL BOXING DAY!!!hey, you might save a few bucks dude but im not sure its going to make much of a difference unless you plan on using 8 cores and 9800's in tripple SLI.
By a rig when you feel most comfortable doing it. the holidays can be hectic for free time, so make sure you have the time to put it all togther.

I HATE WORKING ON MY RIG WITH PEOPLE AROUND. me & her need our private time.

I think the Black Friday deals across the border are probably better than our Boxing Day deals.

Black Friday FTW. Sadly, Boxing Day sales (at least up here) don't even come close. :(

Yeah I don't think Boxing Day (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing_Day) sales even compare to the madness that is Black Friday (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Friday_(shopping)).

I see. They're totally two different days. I never heard of Boxing day before.

Black Friday is pretty crazy here. You DON'T want to enter Fry's on that day. The deals are crazy and the people are crazier. You could end up standing 3 hours in line to checkout... that is if you find what you want :ahhhhh:

I know I'll be there :lol:

Just put your game face on and run :hide:

Boxing day is on Dec 26th in Canada and I believe the UK. As tomato mentioned though, Boxing Day is small potatoes compared to the US Black Friday.

yea its my first time getting custom comp so it isnt going to be a quick enter/exit..
what about january 2008? is the price drop there worth waiting a month?

im going with 4 cores/8800 btw, 9800/8 cores is pushing it a bit

argghh. There is not much point to waiting. New things come out all the time and replace old things. Prices fluctuate all the time. Just gobuy a comp now and save yourslef the trouble.
