    TheCableCo has 50% off lots of WireWorld Series 7 cables because the new Series 8 is announced. I've been enjoying WW cables for awhile and I have all series 7 stuff. This has really screwed me since I was trying to sell some interconnects, but I still recommend WW for an attainable, well built cable solution.

    It looks like almost everything is gone since they announced this a few weeks ago, but it's still worth a look if you need cables.

    Thanks for this! I've been checking on availability on and off for about 6 months. But this is the first time I've seen it available for Buy It Now. Amazon prices had been in the $25-$30 range IIRC.

    This is a bit weird because last week the Sound Blaster X G5 was on their website for $99. I assumed it was closeout because the new G6 is available. Now, they have it listed for $145 and 30% off which is still a couple bucks more than it was last week. This sale does not include the new Sound Blaster G6 which is annoying.

    Anyway, I bought the G5 used (not from Creative) last week and honestly it's really good. I have been using my basic analog outs from my motherboard for a long time due to necessity. The G5 is a 100,000x improvement. The analog microphone input is also incredibly useful because I am using a Sennheiser gaming headset. For about $100 or less I definitely recommend the G5 for a gaming PC. It is of no consequence, but I also bought an Audioquest Cinnamon micro USB Cable to use with it. This is just because I've never owned any AQ cable and it was the perfect excuse to try it out.

    As of October 2 (when I emailed), Zach currently has b-stock ZMF Atticus available in zebrawood and cherry, $899 and $849 respectively. There were also purpleheart atticus and eikon, but I snatched some, so there may or may not be any left. They're not available online - you have to email zach at [email protected] (that's how I found out).

    These may or may not have been snatched up yet, but they're a great deal if they still are!

    I've uploaded some of the images zach sent me to imgur. They use magnesium, which reduces weight significantly (a purpleheart eikon with magnesium weighs as much as a cherry eikon with steel(?), despite purpleheart having a janka hardness of 2x).

    (if anyone's interested, I'll post impressions of the purpleheart eikon and atticus in the atticus & eikon thread later)
