now that's cheap!!

 

[sunkim50]

hmm.. are you sure that's the motherboard they use?

doesn't GQ use ECS mobo's?

Nice deal. If no Frys near you, Newegg has n A64 2800+ with motherboard for $126 shipped: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=40&threadid=1727075&enterthread=y

...of course you need to add the case, video, HD, RAM, CD to make a system.

 

[DefDC]

Wow... I'm suprised they include Windows with this. Hot!

 

[AnyMal]

Wonder if it's available in Indy? May be worth a 2 hour drive.

 

[Zap]

OMG this is HOT!!! Normally WinXP and the CPU by itself would cost that much.

 

[DefDC]

Please post if it IS available in Indy, or Downer's Grove... I'm inbetween!

 

[Davinci]

can I use this windows copy on an other system ?
How decent is the PSU if I want to upgrade the video card ?

tempting.

I think the deal you speak of in newegg is dead.
