Gigabyte GA-7VRX2.0 for $29 WHAT THE F()*?

[multifacitedonyx]

I noticed that TCWO.com has this gigabyte GA-7VRX2.0 KT333 board for $29. I am wondering, is there something wrong with this board that I do not know about? I have read a couple of people reporting video problems, but other than that, this seems like a fine board. And at $29, what the hell, that is way cheap. It is so cheap that I am worried.

So does anyone have any input?

Thanks

Is it new or refurbished? Or maybe just a misprint?

It's showing as 106, got a link?

and it's $106...

It might be bait and switch because I got if from an email, it was there, now OOS, but two other versions for
-referb $39
- RAID $106

linky

i would say it's bait and switch

The one that is cheap doesnt have the RAID onboard, and other features. look close. Its the board I have and DARN solid. NO blue screens yet. XP2000 and a 4200gf get me into 10k 3dmarks woohoo..

 

[multifacitedonyx]

OK, maybe not bait and switch, but what is up with the ad saying $29, the web page saying $29, but OOS. Same webpage has OEM for $62, and RAID for $106?

Referb OF SAME PRODUCT is $39, $10 more.

And lack of raid takes off $80? I am just wondering what is up. Do you think the referb is a good deal?

It doesnt matter "SOLD OUT"

The board sucks, a ddr 333 board, 166mhz with no 1/5 divider, I bought one, used it 2 hours, corrupted HD's, took it out, waste of my money,

But for $29 and mild overclocking, that's about what it's worth

 

[jcarson]

Duh. Its NOT an overclocker board, but a darn solid NORMAL board.

looks the board that you are referring to is listed under "clearance" section, but i would not recommand this mobo, like people said, there is not 1/5 divider... not worth your money.

This board rocks. I've put it into several systems I've built, and had great luck with overclocking. It is incredibly stable and the performance is great. I highly recommend it.

Too bad the deal is dead, I would buy this mobo in a hearts beat at $29 even refurbish.

For those of us that do over-clock and what a mobo that is very solid with all the right features at a good prices, this would have been a great deal.

Giga-byte was one of the first of three mobo manufacture's to make Athlon mobo, despite Intel's strangle hold on the market (at the time). And could have possible been crushed my Intel's persuasion .
