Community Spotlight: Build A PC Sales (lemmy.ml)

Yesterday's community spotlight about the PC Master Race community got me thinking: is there a similar community for deals on PC components? Anyone who has ever built a PC knows that component prices vary widely. Getting a good deal is probably half the work of building or upgrading a PC.

Luckily for us Lemmings, there is buildapcsales over at lemmy.ml! Each post in the community showcases a single deal. The titles of the post are strictly regulated to make it easy to find the component type you're looking for and to see its brand and price.

So are the deals any good? Well, that, my friends, is beyond the scope of this article. But at least it's an extra arrow in your quiver to help you keep costs down!

One additional note: PC sales are region-specific. If you're not in the US, you may want to check out these related communities for component deals:

And for laptop shoppers, you may benefit from Laptop Deals over at lemmy.world.

Happy hunting!

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn't work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !buildapcsales@lemmy.ml, !bapcsalescanada@lemmy.ca, !bapcsalesaustralia@aussie.zone, !buildapcsalesuk@feddit.uk, !laptopdeals@lemmy.world
