Where do you buy your equipment?

Where do you buy your equipment?

Costco had(has) a sale on M1 Max Mac Studio base model for $1500 bux. I bought it even though it’s a little light on the RAM I use for loading samples. Seemed like an excellent price so I bit. The thing is it can theoretically support like 4 monitors (which is completely preposterous) but I have been looking at a new monitor(s). 4k seem pricey but the whole point of the Mac Studio is the 24 core gpu and I’m using a tv as a monitor and my old eyes are mad at me.

I’m a cheap ass person who has no problem with b-stock, refurbished, open box, or whatever else they call a fully functional device that might be dinged up a bit.

Where do you shop? What’s the best value in multiple monitors (be happy with HD). There is a Best Buy Outlet I check out sometimes but they only seem to be 30-40 bux off of stuff.

Please advise!

Sceptre is sold very cheap on Amazon. I'm not familiar with this brand, but the reviews are positive.
