Thinking about the iCUE LT100 Smart Lighting Towers. I know they are on sale, but still a tough pill to swallow at the sale price. But they would look so nice I feel.

I had a look at the LS100, for which I paid $89.99 back in October. I see it's now on sale for the "special price" of...$89.99. So I used the Cyber Monday coupon code, which removed the "special price," returning it to the standard price of $119.99. That price was then reduced by ten percent to the Cyber Monday sale price of $107.99.

Seriously, why even bother?

I'm seeing the original price as $129.99 USD, special price as $109.99 USD. Looks like the discount code's is only on the original price, bringing it from $129.99 to $116.99. I'm guessing you can't have more than one discount on a product at a time. Are you using that exact same link, or are you using a different link (the /us/en/ part's important). Different currency perhaps?

Not different currency, different products. I'm talking about the monitor backlight kit. You're referring to the light towers. Anyway, my point is that their "sale" is bogus because the price didn't change and that using their coupon code would result in a higher price.

Well, I started went to upgrade all my LL120's to QL120's needed buy 7 of them. was going to buy 2-3 packs and 1 single. But Amazon blocked that saying Cosair has set a limit on how many you can buy.  So, I tried 4 singles a 1-3 pack nope no dice. I need 3 more QL's in white they are on my wish list. Oh and I need some white/black or white/blue PSU cables.

Well i had a similar problem with neutrik connectors for a patch bay i made from an old bracket i had that i used for home studio a while back..

I wanted 3 ethernet sockets, and 3 USB3, but amazon set a limit at two ethernet max.. which i found silly..

I had to buy the third one separately a few days later, which was an inconvenience to me, and simply very wasteful with packaging and transport.

 

So i got my little winter network overhaul done, nothing fancy, just making it easier to use 🙂

 

Internet box to 5 port switch, 5 port switch to the PC's 16 port switch, and from there, the little patch bay to plug the work laptop, retrogaming raspberry, and one spare.

behind the panel hides the Pi-Hole DNS sinkhole to get rid of telemetry and ads on the whole network (PC, phones on wifi etc). Added an USB and HDMI sockets to access the raspberry pi when i don't feel like using ssh

two USB3 to avoid scratching the faceplate of the case or reaching on the back to plug stuff

and two XLR connected to the interface for audio chat, recording guitar, reamping etc.
