Yea, they pulled it. Just looked and the MB combo is gone. Not sure if it was a mistake though. When I saw it last night I went to the MB page and it had the 7800GT as the combo and the price was the same as this deal.

Way to go to whoever got in on this one.

Combo price on the MB page is $410. Still a good deal though if your upgrading to pci-e.

Heck no! I just got this thing the other day and the mobo is awesome. It comes fully decked out 2 sets of rounded IDE cables, locked SATA cables, every power adapter imaginable to plug it, and the 7800gt into you're 5-year-old generic P4 power supply. For those of you still in 1985 it has rounded floppy cables as well. For troubleshooting it even includes power, and reset buttons right on the motherboard. the only way it could be better would be if it had a passive chipset heat sink. The chipset fan is very quiet, it's just that I know it's going to get clogged with dust, and eventually will fail. Other than that I have no gripes. As expected the install was flawless, and though I swore I would never buy another nVidia, mobo after the troubles I had with their IDE driver this deal was to hot to pass on. (and I got in at $450)

Great find OP!

Damn, it's so tempting to get this, throw out my non-sli mobo and then I would have SLI 7800GTs.

Im so poor right now. Just got into a car accident(small fender bender) and am paying the other guy a couple thousand. Just paid my credit card off last week. Just got my car insurance bill to pay off now, due in 2 weeks. I just bought 2 6800 ultras the other day and a raptor drive. And im actually considering this. tisk tisk.

If you see a dirty hungry bum with with grungy clothes pushing a shopping cart holding a really nice computer with 2 amazing video cards in it around the so-cal area. It will be me. Stop and say hi!

Dude it still worth it.

I have been patiently waiting like a mongoose for a deal on a 7800 GT for my new system.

ZipZoomFly just the 7800 GT for $359.99+$27 tax=386.99 free shipping.

Monarch Computer $380(now $388!) just for the 7800 GT, no tax shipping+$6.80 s&h =$394.80

But if your in the marketplace for a 7800 GT and a motherboard here's the Newegg deal:

Item Description Quantity Unit Price Extended Price
14-130-238 VGA EVGA|GF 7800GT 256-P2-N518
1 $399.00 $399.00
13-188-002 MB EVGA NF4 SLI EDI|133-K8-NF41 - R
1 $139.00 $139.00
Discount FOR 14-130-238&13-188-002 1 ($139.00) ($139.00)
Subtotal $399.00
Tax $28.93
Shipping and Handling charge $0.00
Amount Paid $427.93
after $40 MIR
total: $387.93

So...
Monarch $394.80 shipped
ZipZoomFly $386.99 shipped
Newegg $387.93 with eVGA NF4 SLI motherboard thrown in.
It's worth it bro, do it if you can.

Edit: Those Newegg totals are from my actual invoice, I jumped on this deal yesterday.

Edit: I just checked the Anandtech RTPE and the price is going up?

Newegg and eVGA are making a killing on this deal.

Newegg because of the sales
eVGA because now more people are getting to know their motherboards, visiting their website, forums etc.

Anyone know how this board overclocks and what kind of options are in the BIOS for overclocking? Highly tempting.

My home system's lagging like hell playing WoW. It's either new mobo, cpu, video, more memory, or just more memory. Tought decision there.

Check the Anandtech Jetway SLI review. Its the same exact board, only rebranded.
