Duncs Deals - Updated 03/09/10

"This week I 'ave mostly been eating...Cheese!"

It's been a week of scandal, fallouts and controversy - and that was just in the dabs offices! It may have only been a four day week but the office , and indeed the world, has been awash with activity! Following in the footsteps of the Bank Holiday weekend scandal in the Cricket, dabs had its own mini scandal with the news that Michelle (our head of online marketing), and Sam (our Social Media Guru), have been granted holidays! As if that isn't enough controversy, our weekly 4 pints of Semi-Skimmed has run out already - that either means we've had too many brews or we have a Milk-Pilferer in our midst!

Now allow me to explain the reason for the Fast Show reference in the title - it is to announce that today has been declared 'Cheese Friday' here at dabs... or what I prefer to call "Vendredi de fromage!" Yes you heard it right... no cakes or biscuits here, just good old fashioned CHEESE! We've got Extra Mature Cheddar, Double Gloucester, Port-Salut, Shropshire Blue, Pecorino Romano, Apricot Stilton and Stripey Jack, with more Crackers and Chutney than you can shake a stick at! What a feast - check the photo out to see it all!

Some news from across the web we've enjoyed this week included TechRadar's piece on 'How To Buy The Right CPU' - take a look and then look at our Processor section to select yours! If you opt to get yourself an Intel Unlocked CPU then you can benefit from a FREE copy of Unreal Tournament 3!

Another story that caught the eye this week was AMD announcing that they are going to kill the ATI brand...in the words of Paddy McGuiness - no likey, no lighty!

Last weekend we sponsored the Multiplay insomnia40 Team Fortress 2 tournament which was a huge success - check out the video of the final! Thanks to Mutliplay and the guys at the event for their support!

Keep dropping me a line via email and the 'Speak To Dunc' section! It's been the busiest week so far with people getting systems spec'd up and claiming free games daily - you never know what you will receive just for getting in touch, I really value your feedback!


PRODUCT NEWS!

It's been motherboard-tastic lately! We've been selling the Asus Intel and AMD Self-Build bundles like there is no tomorrow! As some of you have been asking about the technology that is behind the motherboards Asus provide, we've worked with Asus to put together this "Understanding The Technology" landing page for the key features.

Keep those claims coming in for the Mafia 2 game promotion when you buy any NVIDIA GTX 465, 470s or 480. Not only that, but Asus have given us 10% discount for you on their GTX 470 and 480 for a limited time; so take advantage and buy yours today!


SSD = SOLID STATE DRIVES & SUPER STONKING DEALS

The world is finally taking notice of the power and speed of SSD! As a result, all the key manufacturers are doing all they can to get you the best price per GB they can! Right now we've got some great deals and offers from both Kingston and Intel. Kingston have given us the chance to extend our price down promotion on six models in the V-Series, while Intel have dropped their pricing across the X25-M range AND have teamed up with Ubisoft to give away free copies of either FarCry 2, Assassins Creed II, RUSE, Rainbow Six Vegas 2 or Call of Juarez - check the page for more info.

BLAIR VS BROWN, HAWKING VS GOD

Well that's if for another week, the week that saw Tony shock the world by telling us he didn't much like Gordon, and Professor Stephen Hawking ensured that if there is a God, he wont be meeting him!

Last weekend I tackled the Old Man of Consiton and this weekend I am planning to do another ramble - may as well make the most of the last few glimpses of summer! Enjoy your weekend and take advantage of the deals above and below! Much Love. Thank you and goodnight!
