EDIT: Sorry I forgot to include the link to the item on the Outpost site. I forgot to paste it I guess...

Outpost has had combos with this motherboard going for a while now. Keep your eyes peeled, it'll probably be back in a week.




$109.99 + shipping.

Looks to be the same deal that was posted a week or so ago at $99.99. Boxed CPU, likely Venice based on what was posted in the other thread.

Good results overclocking from what I've been reading. Was pretty bummed that I missed this deal at $99, though this is close enough that I'll bite. 😉

Excellent thread with review and overclocking results.

I got in on the last deal when it was $99...

I currently have mine running 10 x 250HTT, 2.5Ghz, 1.47v, and a 1:1 memory ratio....

Can't find it either. Direct link or an image scan of the ad?
Phone number?

This is the deal I was waiting for, even if it won't support the dual channel capabilities of the memory I obtained. Its great for the price!

darkplayer<---- feels the lost of yet another good deal, with rage, calls forth the words of strength, "By the power of grayskull, I have the powerrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...", than the lights goes out.......what the heck, nooooooooooooooooooooooo.
 
SORRY? How can this be dead within hours after posting and why didn't you post a link? I was scanning Outpost nightly trying to get that deal.

The $180 price is a JOKE. Those components cost ~150 at most separately. You could buy a socket 939 combo from newegg, Athlon64 3000+ venice and a better Gigabyte AGP mobo for that exact amount. More reliable brand, dual channel support.

I can't believe I've waited a week, checking Outpost daily, and still missed out on that deal. Tempting to forget about outpost altogether and just stick with newegg and zzf.
 
Got the confirmation that my order has shipped. Looks like I barely got it in time. Cost me a bit more, what with tax and all, but it was still a decent deal for an upgrade to my 2400XP.

I happened to be viewing their site yesterday, since I too wanted to get in on the deal last week but missed out. This one was posted at $109 right on the home page, but I forgot to link it when posting here. 🙁 Why they removed it so soon is beyond me.

I received an email saying my mobo/cpu shipped yesterday.

None that I know of. I've just started monitoring their home page and deals page every day now...

It sure is frustrating, and I bet their marketing people LOVE all the added visits it is generating.
