Hi, i plan to make the following purchases over the next two months, but need to know which components are likely to drop in price and which are likely to increase. This is so i can buy the ones that rise first before later buying the ones that should have dropped. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated:

2 X Zalman ZM-F2 92mm Case Fans
1 x Antec Titan 550
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS
1 x P5W DH Deluxe
1 x HIS IceQ 256MB X1900XT
1 x Intel E6600 Conroe
1 x Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro

From what i have seen the processor is continually dropping in price, but i have no idea about the rest really because i've not been following IT Trends lately :\. Thanks :). I have already bought 2gb of Geil Ultra pc2-6400 as i know RAM prices are rocketing.

(Also if anyone has any suggestions/changes/recommendations on the spec please let me know)
 
Generally the only parts that go up in price are popular items that are in short supply (not happen often) or memory devices when there are problems in the Far East (earthquake, flood).
Everything else wil generally drop in price as newer replacements are released.

I would just wait until you can buy all of it together, as you will be annoyed if you buy something now, and by the time you can afford the rest, that first item is cheaper or superceded.
 
price drops: (i reckon anyways)

2 X Zalman ZM-F2 92mm Case Fans - NO FANS HARDLY CHANGE MUCH
1 x Antec Titan 550 - NO WELL MAYBE A BIT
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 320GB ST3320620AS - YES
1 x P5W DH Deluxe - MAYBE
1 x HIS IceQ 256MB X1900XT - YES
1 x Intel E6600 Conroe - YES
1 x Artic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro - NO ALREADY CHEAP AS OWT
