BM Explain? I got no explaining to do! ;)
As stated-most of the resellers have these closer to the $300 price range.
I guess "warm" would qualify any price that beats Newegg's obscene price for this board "in-stock!"

You are aware that the Ultra versions will NOT have the SLI capability? Just making sure you knew that they aren't like they were with NF2, where they were suped-up versions of the regular chipset.

There is an Ultra that can do a form of Sli--->
K8N Neo4 Platinum
This is an Ultra Chipset that provides the S-ATA II that I'm after and can do a form of Sli with two PCI-E 16x cards. Note the 2x PCI-E connector just next to the 16x PCI-E connector. ;)

He probably thinks being an unpopular troll is the funniest thing in the world. I'll bet he was cracking up for 30 minutes after writing that and thinking about all the upset people reading his post.

I've got the A8N Sli Deluxe here now, though a very nice board, I'd rather have the K8N Neo4 Platinum for my own rig. It's been getting some pretty decent reviews in pre-release. I just wish MSI would get off the dime and release the board. :)

For the mathematically impaired, $207 is the cheapest price this highly sought after board can be had for, cheaper by at the very least $50. Cheaper by $100 at some of the resellers. The price of $207 gets it a "warm" deal listing.

Please don't take offense to the trolls in this thread. They really are lacking in common sense and anything above a basic thought process.

Unfortunately, that place doesn't have the boards in stock (doesn't say that when ordering). I placed the order last night, got an email about a credit card problem today, and when I called, once I finally found someone competent, they said it was not in stock, and didn't really know when it would be. They seemed somewhat shady to me, so I cancelled the order. Their website barely works, and I could not find an address for them on it. Will wait for somewhere respectable.

I bought my Asus A8N Sli Deluxe from them. I called them the day I ordered my board and was told they would have stock in three days. That was true, my board shipped three days later via DHL. No problems with them what so ever.

good to know...just a little nervous about a place that didn't say they were out of stock, that I had never heard of, and whose web site wasn't working very well.
