This seems like a good deal. I was going to wait a couple more weeks for some cheaper boards.
The P5b-E will be out soon so I dont know if I should pull the trigger or not. It is a great looking board though.

Isn't the one from ewiz the plain P5B Deluxe while the ones you listed from Newegg and Monarch are the WiFi models? If so that may account for some of the price difference.

Yes, you are right. I did not realize Asus sold two versions of this board.

I know it's not the hottest deal, but I probably would not spend the additional ~$65 for WiFi.
 
I got my P5B-Deluxe/WF from NE last week (not installed yet)--the build quality and package were quite impressive, not to mention that it's made in Taiwan instead of China.

Here is P5B non-deluxe one for $144.
Are the heat pipes one difference between the two?

Wait for the P5B-E. It should be out next week and be $120-$130 and it looks
like it'll be a good for overclocking. Hopefully it wont have any issues like the deluxe non-wifi version is having.
