Only shows the mobo in the shoppingcart, although the page you linked it to specifically states that it's a combo. I really hope they won't try to stiff us. Other than that, great price. Newegg has the board alone for $109. The whole combo would be around $250 when shipping is added.

Doubt they will stiff you. I got one the other day at $129. I received it yesterday and it is working fine.

Damn, the price of the CPU+fan alone was $159 just a few months ago! Excellent find!

It was $129? When?!?!?! Oh well, $30 down the drain. Still a nice price, most stores have the board alone for $100+, like I pointed out earlier.

Wow! Cheapest M7MIA on pricewatch $97 not counting shipping (and who knows if that price is really what you'd find if you went to that site!)

And the cheapest listing for the XP 1700+ is $110.

What an excellent deal! Thank you! (yea, got one!)

Where did you find this deal at tcwo? I don't see it anywhere.

What this deal (and NewEgg's XP 1700+ price) tells me is that both this chip and motherboard are now very cheap wholesale. If NewEgg can sell the AXP 1700+ for $115 with free shipping I bet they're paying no more than $80 for it. Biostar are cheap cheap boards and probably cost no more than $50 wholesale so my guess is that TCWO is making $30 on this deal. It's a good deal for all concerned I think.

I predict that the XP 1700+ will be sub $100 within 2 weeks. and the 1800+ will take its place in the "sweet spot" (max bang per buck). Then when the 2000+ approaches the sweet spot (3-4 months time) that will signal the release of the Thoroughbred.

Quick question.... Can you use raid for a single HD? I have multiple HD's, but they are not the same GB, which I think you need for raid.

Wow! Do you think they are making that much. Hmmm..... maybe I should start my own computer company. Where can I buy these parts at wholesale? PM me if you can let me in!

NO WAY!! Newegg is maybe making 10% on their stuff. Competition is so tight. If they were paying $80, don't you think others would be coming in and trying to undercut them? If you look on pricewatch, I GUARANTEE that the cheapest vendor is charging more than 105% what they paid for it.
