Fry's Athlon XP 1700(Boxed) + ECS K7S5A: $169

[dc]

i don't see a xp 1700+/ecs bundle anywhere in the la ad here

anyone care to clear things up?

 

[Mecheater]

Dang it, I had my hopes goin that the Sacramento fry's would have it. Friend needs some parts so I heading over there tomorrow. Oh well, I've never had a problem with on-line buying. That is a good price though.

 

[dc]

bah, went out at midnight to find a place that still had thursday's newspaper. eventually found one.

found the 1700+/ecs combo. it's on the back of the business section.
it's $189 here in socal.

still a hot deal, but not as hot as 169. gah. bastards, someone scan the san jose ad, i wanna try to get it for 169. hehe.

Yup, I just went to my local 7-11 and they still only had Thursday's San Jose Mercury News, so I picked up that one and it had the Fry's ad for XP 1700+ and ECS K7S5A for $169. This looks like a good deal, but I got in on the XP 1600+ and Soyo K7ADA for $150 deal from Fry's less than 2 weeks ago.

Anyone able to get in on this deal? Kinda wanted to get an idea of what kind of stock they have, I won't be able to make it to a Bay Area Fry's until Sat night at the earliest. Need to know if I should pick up an ECS K7S5A up here in Sac, just in case they're out in the Bay Area.

I just got back from the San Diego Fry's---the rep said that he would price match if I had a scan of the add from one of the other papers; San Jose, Sacto or Phoenix. Can anyone please put up a scan for us? You guys rock!

 

[Smbu]

Because I am such a nice person, I scanned a copy of the XP 1700+ and ECS deal from the Fry's ad in the San Jose Mercury News that I bought.
You can find it here. Warning: pic is +400kb and very large.
The bundle deal is part way down the page and on the left side. You might want to turn the pic on it's side for easier viewing.

edit: Hey, I'm almost over 2000 posts, cool.

 

[alaniscool]

thanks smbu!

 

[mack4000]

Yes, thank you very much. Now off to Fry's!

 

[Helpless]

Fry's sucks...until they come to the VA, or take phone/internet orders



edit: You guys who shop there suck, too

 

[lotust]

ok but who will pricematch fry's ?

 

[Smbu]

"ok but who will pricematch fry's ?"

They are going to pricematch other Fry's stores who have the same combo, but for about $20 more in other parts of the state. They needed the scan to get the pricematch.

 

[lotust]

ok but im still sad

I just ordered from newegg

MB SISS735|5P1A K7S5A_ECS (Qty=1,Price=57.00)
CPU AMD|1600/266 ATHLON 1.4G XP RTL (Qty=1,Price=139.00)

Subtotal:196.00
TAX:.00
Shipping and Handling Charge**:24.87 (2day)
Total:220.87


man i wish there was a deacent computer hardware store here on Long ISland Ny

 

[Scrounger]

Portland has same bundle for $189. Wonder why there's usually a $20-50 premium up here compared to the Bay Area?

 

[mack4000]

Thank you, smbu! Just got back with my $169 bundle from the San Diego Fry's. Just showed them the scan and off to the register I went. Great deal.

 

[Smbu]

mack4000: Glad I could help a fellow AT'er.

In fact I was thinking about picking up this bundle in San Jose. Even though I bought the XP 1600+/Soyo K7ADA for $150 combo from them less than 2 weeks ago. Then I could just give the XP 1600+ and ECS mobo to my sister, or something.

 

[damngood]

Got mine this morning. I missed out on the BB deals, but his one will cheer me up!

 

[Headache]

Hi guys, I just bought this. Thanks!!
How good is the motherboard for overclocking?
Anybody?

 

[Mecheater]

well I saw todays ad showing this combo for $189 in sacramento. Time to go down there and show them the scan and see what comes of it. thanks for the scan

 

[juddev]

I ordered 2 of these {they made me buy 2 items} and I will be selling 1 of them. Anyone interested in a athlon XP 1700 boxed with a ECS K7S5A for 169 + about 20 shipping {the lady couldnt tell me the exact amount for shipping}? And NO TAX
Email me @ juddev@netscape.net First one wins.

 

[GotSomethingCheaper?]

Can someone give the price split for the cpu and motherboard?
Thank you.

 

[Edwardo22]

Thanks for the deal and scan. I am going over to the Fry's here in Dallas. I will let everyone know what happens.

not so good for overclocking.. you can't modify multiplier.. and fsb option is very few.. 100mhz 133mzh/138/144/150 i think..

g'luck

 

[forkd]

I've built 2 ecs systems. they are awesome for making a stable system. If you want to overclock it may not be the best board for you. but then most overclockers differ in price so much this might change your mind about overclocking in the first place.

virtuamike....i got in on this deal but i think that its ending today...i think i remember seeing something on the tag that said the deal ends on 11-23-01...but not too sure....and they had plenty of mobos...like 20 when i left...
