Seems like the best price from a reputable site, might purchase one soon.

Monarch's $194 is a really really great deal IF you also need a processor, and then go with one of their combos, which (here's where the bonus comes), you get a free Half Life 2, free FarCry, and free Napster trial (I don't care about that one so much).

However if you JUST need the motherboard, I ordered here from Axent Micro for only $184 (shipped!). I ordered last Friday afternoon, it arrived on Wednesday. Lowest price currently available. Highly recommended. I wasn't sure if they ACTUALLY had them in stock at the time, cause their website listing for the product is kinda shady, but I called on the phone, and customer service was very nice, knew exactly what product I was calling about (since I guess that was what everyone kept asking), and assured me that my order had been processed and would be shipped next day (it was).

I also got my A8N-SLI from Axent Micro and was also impressed with their Customer Service when I called for the same reason. It was shipped very promptly and told the CSR that I would buy a 6800GT PCI-E from them if they could get one in stock. Unfortunately, 4 days later my BFG 6800GT PCI-E arrived from Chumbo.com. Bad for them, good for me.

The guy on the phone did say that the reason real-time stock is disabled on this motherboard is because they are artifically limiting the in-stock amount shown so that resellers don't hog up all of the motherboards and sell them on eBay.

Blech, figures, the one really good price (Axent Micro) is in FL, where I am, so I would get gibbed on tax. Not my lucky day.
