Buy opteron 144 right now or preoder 146

[gus6464]

ZZF has the opteron 144 right now in stock for $189 but dont know if i should get it or just preoder a 146 from monarch for $200. Thing I am scared of is that monarch might never get the 146 in stock again as amd is stopping selling them via retail channels.

Den of thieves MSRP on these babies is less than $150.. Buy a 3000/3200 I'd never let someone profit off me like that.

Is it just me, or are some of these e-tailer sites being a bit shady by offering back orders for the Socket 939 Opterons? Surely they must know that there's an excellent chance that they won't receive anymore. Or is it just that they're really naive about the whole situation?
