HOT: E2180 Retail Box for $70.99 with any LGA 775 motherboard at ClubIT.com

[quadomatic]

This is a pretty darn good deal, since it's an E2180 for the same price as an E2140, as long as you buy a motherboard for it.

You need to apply the promo code:

EBL1041938263

I hope this helps a few people out, and hopefully the deal lasts a little while.

I'm hoping I'll pick this up as well. I recommend the Gigabyte DS3L motherboard for this deal.

I think I might pick this up before I pick up some ram....

I bought this chip with the MSI Neo2-FR for the almost the same price after rebate.

Thanks for the post! I picked up this proc along with the mobo ugotdeals owns.

ugotdeals, what RAM and cooler do you own? Also, if you OC, what kind of speeds are you seeing?

TIA

I'm using a E2140 on a P31-DSL3, stock cooler, and I've hit 3ghz no sweat. I haven't had the time to try and push it further, but honestly I'm happy with 3ghz

I haven't got the CPU + mobo yet. Ordered them last Saturday and will be delivered hopefully tomorrow. I can't answer your OC question yet. But there's plenty of answers on the anandtech CPU/overclocking board.
I have the HP/Micron D9NLH PC2-5300 1gb sticks. I'm planing to use the stock cooler but I also have a Cooler Master Hyper TX2 if the stock is not enough.

BTW, there's still the pricegrabber $5 rebate available for the Neo2-FR. Hurry if you want it.

Did anybody else notice the dual-core celeron E1200 at clubit.

No, didn't see that before...doesn't seem so great since the cache is so small

I think I'm going to wait until my 3700+ really can't compete with dual cores in games anymore. Then I'll snatch a 45nm quad core cheap!
