The Best Deals Thread. Post Best Deals And Lowest Prices Links

REALLY?! So I could potentially get 5% off those Quantums at that already low price by using "FACEBOOK" in the promo code when I order?? If so, this just keeps getting better!!
Yup that code takes additional 5% off - if you like it you'll like some additional VMI promos on Facebook :)

That's where I've gotten all 5 of my quantums, I just don't like that they don't package it differently...
I hear ya and will look into it. Perhaps we could add a section during checkout ("Add a note"?!) so folks can request special packaging.

I don't understand what you guys are referring to about the packaging..."They don't package it differently"...

Differently than what?

Differently than the manufacturer's box with a picture of a ballast and a shipping label on it. I don't want everyone who sees the package to know what is being sent to my house, especially in this game. Brown boxes with safely packaged products and an invoice inside thank you very much.

I think a lot of places are pretty accommodating and will help you out if you ask for "discrete shipping"

That's AWESOME!! Thanks for posting this about the 1K Watt QUANTUM!! I had it in my shopping cart on HorticultureSource which is usually one of the best priced places...They want $244+ for 1 of these PLUS shipping! I need 6 of these and the shipping for that is about $120. I can prob. get the 6 ballasts I want plus and extra one just in case for the same price by going through this site.
Keep us updated on your order for those 2 man!!!

Thanks again!!!
If you want the best of both worlds check out ehydroponics.com. They'll beat anyone's price.. just let them know about it and the'll get you a better price. It's weird.. I like to support biz that supports us. Also, I'd be weary.. what if there is a problem with the ballast and it turns out they aren't certified dealers you're out of luck. I like good deals but I don't know how far I'd go to cut corners on something as important as a ballast, I'd also be suspicious of the version of the ballast. Is it the current version?

I'm getting a new motor for my Jeep... Some are cheap and some are not so cheap.. 'same' motor but not the same support or backing by the builder. I choose to pay a little more to get a little more. If I could get a little more AND price match them to the cheap one I'd do that too.. in this case you can do that at that site. Cheap price with good service and backing.

Looked into making my own Duct muffler...parts seem to cost just about as much as to just buy one. So looking for a good deal. How does this look http://www.amazon.com/inch-INLINE-SILENCER-NOISE-REDUCER/dp/B004YXDQRI/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1331950985&sr=8-10
build a box around your exhaust , thats probably a better bet. use foam or insulation in there if you want it really quiet. im a cheap ass though , i couldnt see dropping that much loot on quieting my fan.

Would the box get rid of the turbine noise?

I called monstergardens the other day to ask about their fans. On youtube they have reviews showing the DB of all of them, except the Valu-Line which I have. Dude told me to do what he hears tons of his customers do.

Get a big enough rubbermaid tub from walmart, get 20 bucks work of foam for a mattress, cut holes on the side for your duct work and boom, big reduction in noise from motor and wind he said.

I'm going to search RIU for some more detailed instructions though before I start building

thats the same thing as building a box around it. only instead of building, your buying it.

I don't know man...Have you checked out HorticultureSource?! They have cheaper prices on everything that I needed and their inventory is the largest I've seen of anywhere. They also match or beat any prices possible. The only part that that I saw for cheaper somewhere else and they couldn't beat was being sold for less than wholesale...this other place was almost giving them away...maybe going out of business or something...Other than that, they beat the only other item I saw online for a tiny bit cheaper but ALL the other things I needed, which was a lot, HorticultureSource.com beat your boys ehydro along with anyone else. I've literally saved thousands by going through them.
Low ass prices for bulbs at www.ehydroponics.com

Ushio, hortilux, or digilux 1k's for 70.00 600's for 62.00

Ballast too..

1k, Qauntum, Galaxy, solis tek, or lumatek's for 215.00

Don't know for how long but that's pretty dam low.. Kind of sucks cause I'm a 400w guy.. no love.. lol

I'll have to keep looking but the first bulb I looked at was the Hortilux 1k's HS sells them for (gulp) 129.95 and ehydo has them for 70.. I don't see how that's cheaper at all.. I'm sure they hook you up though and I'd assume that most places will if you're roll'n hard.

Sorry man, I comparative shop all the time... little OCD lol

Yeah, I hear ya on those...I'd just seen some of the products I'm personally getting lower at H.Source in comparison. Looks like each site has the "give and take" and you just need to see which one is best and/or get the other to match/beat the other.

I bought this bomb ass fan a month or so ago and never used it...It's been kept in the box except to check that it wasn't damaged when it arrived. Now I want to upgrade to the Fantech 12" multi-flow(same model, larger size) just so that I can be sure that it can handle ALL 7 lights through out my extensive ducting.
I'm not seeing this fan for anything under $500. Would anyone want to pick this one up for $420 obo at a place I know;)...It's brand new, in the box, and has stayed that way. I just want to get the 12" one now.

wow, that's a fan.. lol.. Not that you don't know but.. you know how to evenly cool all those lights so that you don't get cold ones on one end and hot ones on the other end?
