Epox 8RDA+ available at mwave and newegg

[AnImuS]

thought i post this for those still looking for these boards. mwave has them alot cheaper for $102 while newegg has them for $132.

 

[mechBgon]

Thanks AnImuS!

 

[MichaelD]

Thanks, AnImuS.

That said, (I haven't looked yet) I wonder if Newegg already has their standard Overclockers Denial Refusal Statement up? IOW: "No refunds on this product, exchange for same product only!"

 

[MichaelD]

Interestingly enough, Newegg has their disclaimer posted for every overclocker's board EXCEPT thsi one. But $132? Christ.....heading over to MWave. Even tacking on $10 to accoutn for Neweggs' "free shipping" it's still $20 cheaper at MWave.

They know that too. They'll make a profit on sheer volume. God bless Capitalism.

 

[Insane3D]

Michael, if your considering the 8RDA+, I can tell you it is an awesome board.

 

[MichaelD]

Ahh. $104.50 + shipping at MWave to be exact. That still works out to $20 cheaper with standard ground shipping than Newegg. Somebody's purchasing agent got caught sleeping...but hey; we all have our off-days.

Actually, Mwave has always had better prices on Epox boards for a while now. I think they must get a good deal from their distributor..



Also, Newegg did used to have it for less....$118 or so IIRC, but as soon as the AT Nforce2 roundup was out, it went up and stayed up.

 

[mechBgon]

Incidentally, I think they lowered the price about $5 on the A7N8X-Deluxe at mwave. $139?

 

[MichaelD]

I tell you, what I REALLY like about the NForce is the "positive AGP/PCI lock" ala Intel boards. No matter what crap you do w/the FSB, the other buses are in-spec. Gotta luv that. Especially guys like my idol, Insane3D, who can get 341MHz out of PC133. :Q Hey my bud, how'ya doin'?

Could be. But earlier today, MWave's site didn't even HAVE the 8RDA+ listed at all. I almost guarantee, but 0800 PST tomorrow, they'll all be gone.

Heh, I have to get up in three hours to work a 12-hour day...and I've got my CC sitting on the desk. I don't NEED this mobo....but you know how that goes...

 

[mechBgon]

Confirmed, they didn't have the 8RDA+ listed two hours ago. I was looking. Purely out of curiosity, of course.

There's no sales tax in New Hamster? I didn't know that. Here in TX there's no state income tax. Back in NY where I'm from originally, b/t Federal and State Taxes you lose about 35-40% of your income to taxes. What a crock. Plus, down here in TX you can have as many guns as you want!!! Yee-hawwww!

 

[CraigRT]

wow, $102 is a great price for the 8RDA+
very nice!!

 

[MichaelD]

I couldn't resist. The thoughts of:

1. Locked forever in-spec AGP/PCI busses
2. No more SBLive soundcard
3. No more resultant Via+SBLive crashes
4. The schiznitz performance


was too much to bear! Oh, the humanity!!!

Got mine from MWave. $116.44 shipped, 3rd business day. Not bad at all. Now I just gotta decide on a WD 8mb drive...80 or 120 gig...

Dual DDR seems nice too, since I have two matched sticks of DDR.

I think my BP6 capacitor repair ended up being flaky so I just ordered a bunch of new stuff instead.

Quite frankly, I trust nvidia way, way more to build a good chipset over any of the other guys (besides intel).

wow, it says my order shipped now.

 

[axia55]

Mine is on its way from Gameve, should be here tomorrow. Can't wait to get rid of this crappy Via A7V8X!

 

[MichaelD]

Cool!!! MWave shipped mine ALREADY! That's only about 6 hours time from order to shipped...nice.

Now I've just gotta score a WD 8mb HD from Newegg....(free shipping, you know.)
