HOT! NEW LOW PRICE ON 1GHZ INTEL FCPGA RETAIL BOX . . . $299.00 + SHIP

[DaveS]

I think that this is one HOT DEAL at compuplus.com. Intel price drops are in effect already. The next lowest price on Pricegrabber is $493.38. They are Gomez (3 Stars), Cnet Certified, and Yahoo! top rated merchant. Shipping was $14.95 for second day air (no ground option).

$299.00 - 1 GHz Intel P3 - 133 FCPGA

How about more you say?

$88.00 - Maxtor 15.3 GB 7200 RPM ATA 100 Hard Drive

$92.00 - Pioneer 16X DVD Slot Load

$229.00 - AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1 GHZ (1,000 mhz) Socket A CPU Retail Box

I checked out their return policy and it says:


<< We have a 30-day money back guarantee policy, with no restocking fee, on most items. >>




<< Due to the volatility of the CPU market, we offer a 15 day refund policy, and a 30 day exchange on all CPU's. If a refund is requested after the 15 day deadline, we will refund your account for the current selling price if lower. >>



Sweet Deal.

compuplus is a horrible company to deal with
its not worth the headache you'll get with dealing with their rudeness and cheating habits

I'll post my results on Wed. after I get my processor. Hopefully, I won't have to call them if they are bad.

Please let us know when you get your chip. I'm looking for a new chip for my birthday in March (gift from g/f if I can talk her into it). This would be a great deal.

With the 3 year warrenty from Intel, unless you get a doa you shouldn't have to deal with these guys would ya?

 

[Larvae]

there are price cuts today anyway. give it a week and they should be around $268. besides thats a totally gay price compared to any of the faster athlon chips anyway

 

[steevo]

Yes Larvae the prices suck compared to T-birds..BUT..many of us are on our 3rd and 4th processors on Intel BX boards like the BX6r2..So,for example, when I &quot;upgraded&quot; to a Celeron566 @ 850 for 85 bucks the bang for the buck factor blew anything else away...The AMD's only make sense when building from scratch, and even then only for a power system..For cheap-o easy second machines the availability of cheap &quot;all-in-one&quot; Intel chipset boards negates any price/performance benefit of the cheaper AMD products. 30 dollar motherboards with respectable video/sound/lan...I know this may change but it still seems that the Intel based motherboards have a longer shelf life thanks to the Slocket adaptor and cheap ram and near perfect compatability sparing the User from having to buy only &quot;approved&quot; ram,power supplies, and the like at premium prices..
Celery 566 at 850 BX6r2 , Celery 300 at 450 on an 810 all in 1, and a K6-2 300@ 350 on a Super 7 ..

Go GIANTS!!(from a Jet fan!)

Steevo I totally agree. I've had this Abit BH6 1.0x for almost 3 1/2 years. I had a celeron 266 overclocked to 400. Then the celeron 366 overclocked to 550. Then now I have a Celeron2 566 overclock to 850 with an Iwill sloyket2. This motherboard refuses to go away! LOL Now I'm thinking about the P3 1ghz too!! Long live the BX board.
