Good luck.

Update 1: I think pretty much all of us got the backorder email. Way around this is to pickup at the store if there's a microcenter anywhere near you. Otherwise, its time to wait...

woot

Wow, hope it's not a price mistake!

 

[Eeezee]

I own this motherboard. I feel I should warn you that its quality is not the best...

1) ASUS has had to replace thousands of these boards for simply being defective. My first two boards were simply defective
2) The chipset fan may develop problems and stop spinning, but ASUS will replace it for free

I heard both of these problems have been fixed for newer versions of the board. Still, it's possible that the batch they're selling for that price is part of the old batch

 

[Cynicist]

Its a price mistake. Lets hope they honor it.

After I pressed accept on the order page, nothing showed up in my e-mail

A8N-SLI Deluxe does have SLI. Link

 

[Kavikgold]

in for one!

 

[Slash3]

Um, yeah, if anyone can tell me how to choose Alaska for a shipping destination on the Microcenter website, let me know... because it sure doesn't look like we exist as far as they're concerned. Crazy.

 

[sisq0kidd]

Got my confirmation, but stupid me picked shipping when I live 20 mins from MicroCenter

 

[Auzner]

Thanks, I've ordered one and did local pick up. $40.38 for a nice motherboard! As I recall it was the first SLI board out and was $300! After a few weeks it dropped to about $200 and remained there for awhile.

 

[Injury]

Will pass because I don't need it, but here's for hoping that you guys get it.

 

[ItsAlive]

says it usually ships in 7-21 business days.......

 

[luv2liv]

i forgot, can the amd 3800 dual core work on this?
im dying to get this cpu next week!

I have this bd and it was nothing but problems since day 1, RMA'd it 3 times...I will never buy an ASUS again.

 

[BIGFOOTPI]

hmmm... is only 1yr warranty- the other asus boards are 3yr. is this thing refurb/end of life/open box?
Seems fishy when all legit new ASUS boards are 3yr, but this cheap one is 1yr.
..and yeah- doesnt list X2 support.
newegg doesnt list x2 support is specs either- but reviewer#2 is running a 4200x2 on it so apparently it does do x2...

[SignalSoldier]

Similar I had the A8N-E non SLI and 3 times RMA for me! I havent even taken itout of the box to test it since i have it back for the 3rd time.....w/ shipping for RMA this makes 200 bucks I have paid into this board since initial purchase and I have 0 hours of service!

 

[BIGFOOTPI]

4th reviewer at newegg reports these boards ship with old bioses since are old boards and you would need an old cpu to bios flash it so you can use the newer cpus on it.

 

[khurios2000]

i never know asus board A8N-SLI has 1 year warranty

 

[videopho]

In for one. Let's hope MC honoring it.

 

[BIGFOOTPI]

.....luckily I have some old cpus... so I ordered 10
I didnt do instore pickup since I dont know if my boss will be going up that way (1hr away), but I figured there was a much better chance to change a ship order that doesnt ship for at least 7 days to a pickup than a pickup(must pickup in 2 days) to a ship...
considering these are over $100 still everywhere else, we can eat the 1year warranty if a few crap after a year...

Nice job maybe ruining it for the rest of us by buying 10. :roll:

Same results here, and not just that model.
Asus has fallen far down the tubes. Will never buy from them again.
