Intel D975XBX2KR price

[imported_Salamander]

I'm considering the Intel D975XBX2KR mobo for my new build (which I'm planning on doing early next year). New Egg has it for $329.99 plus shipping. I've seen it for less on several other sites - but they all have bad ratings on Resellers Ratings. Does anyone know of any good, reputable on-line vendors that carry it for less?

Does anyone know if the New Egg price is likely to drop before Christmas?

Zip Zoom Fly is pretty decent:

Is there a particular feature of that motherboard that you like?

Its possible the price could drop to $300 or a bit less by Christmas but its going to depend on a few things. If it proves to be unpopular or other mobos being launched and creating competition could drive down the price as well. With the 680i getting all the attention right now and DFI launching their RD600 mobo December 14th/15th that could force the prices down in time for Christmas. And thats not factoring in Sales deals that stores often employ during the holidays.

why spend that much on a motherboard anyways? It's a ripoff IMO
