Manic - everytime I would hit "I WANT ONE" I would get a gateway time out or an "oops thats not supposed to happen - bad woot!" error.
Sounds like people were hammering the server in the offchance that a baggie o' crud was coming up next. However, the deal will probably come around again in the next few weeks, so it's not like it's the last time you'll ever see it ;)
Yeha, i've seen it on there before, thats why I was quick to try and get it, as I had regrets about passing it up last time. Oh well. That is the way of the woot.
the vera wang nesting tray write up made me literally lol. i suppose i'm still 14 years old at heart.
Reminds me of the morning show DJ's on KSCS a few day's back. Someone said the word "crotch" and the woman on the crew was on the floor laughing for 10 minutes. She tried to do the news and could not get through it without busting up.
I could probably build you one five times as fast for twice the price with a minimum of 1 year warranty on all parts... but I'm in a different country for the next 4 months.
Edit: Actually, maybe even better - I was assuming that yours included a monitor, but I don't see a monitor listed there
i have the klipsch synergy series system here ( synergy III - 2 series ). but the c-1 ( center channel ) is up at woot now. though not the best deal newegg has them for the same price - walmart $198 - MSRP $199. kick ass speakers...
Gotta ask - I don't do woot, so what's the baggie o' crap? Can I assume it's random mixed stuff and you buy it and just see what you get when it arrives?
