Post by: GreenKnight37 on September 02, 2004, 10:59:18 pm: Well I'm surprised no one has mentioned one of my favorites, Metafilter.com (http://Metafilter.com)

Then there is http://www.fatwallet.com/c/22/ (http://www.fatwallet.com/c/22/) which is a forum for daily freebies, but the FatWallet.com website also has good deals on computer supplies. Its basically a forum where people post coupon/promo codes, and good deals in general.
