    [DEAD] Intel Z87 LGA 1150 Motherboards 30% off @Newegg $34.66 AR & $51.66 AR & $56.

    Should one assume these *87 boards ship with a bios that doesn't support Haswell-R? EDIT: FWIW I just picked up an ASRock Z87M Extreme4 at my local Micro Center and it had the latest bios that supports Haswell-R. The box had a "New Version" sticker on it. I've read reports to the contrary, so I...

    MSI G41 mATX LGA 775 mobo, DDR2 or DDR3, $59.99 + tax @ Microcenter B&M

    Great boards. I have a gigabyte G41 running built about two years ago after a s775 mobo failure. With DDR3 and a 3.2ghz wolfdale pentium, it's a pretty snappy machine.

    D-Link 8-port gigabit switch $20 AC FS

    Just got mine. More compact than I thought and it is pretty light (all plastic.) Unexpectedly, though, the power connector is on the left side, close to the front. There's worse things, but it is ugly IMO.

    Corsair CX430 430w = $20

    The first one I got a few years ago is still going strong. The second one I RMA'd due to excessively loud coil whine. This was the last time they were sub $20. Hope these are better this time.

    MSI H61M-P31 1155 Motherboard Ivy Support....$39 w/FS!

    But it has DVI, which is compatible with HDMI with an adapter. +1 for boards like this. I have another MSI H67 with 3570K for the HD4000, and an ASUS H61 with 16GB RAM and a SB Pentium G620 in my server. Both rigs are like gease lightning.

    Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge Retail Box......$53.99 w/fs!

    Grails apps in NetBeans, light asp.net development in VS 2010. Good enough for the price. (also have lots of RAM) I used to have a 2600K and got out of crunching and folding, and downsized to the extreme. :)

    Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge Retail Box......$53.99 w/fs!

    Great chip. I have this in my main rig, and while it's no 2600K, it is surprisingly adequate for office work and development.

    [DEAD] Newegg.ca Corsair CX430 PSU 19.99AR FS

    ^^ Good strategy, Meghan54. I called Newegg and insisted it was defective and that I did not want to pay return shipping. They cut me a pre-paid UPS label along with waiving the restocking fee.
