It's Back - Fry's ECS K7S5A and AthlonXP 2400 combo for $89 - YMMV

[Callaway]

This deal was afk for the past week, but appears to be back. At least in Vegas, this is true. This mornings (7/23) Fry's ad on the back of the Sports page (LasVegas RJ) has the ECS K7S5A Pro mobo with AthlonXP 2400 process for a cool $89.


Processor alone runs 84 on outpost.com

I saw this in the San Diego ad today also. I'm disappointed though because the last time this combo was $79 because of the new store.

Good deal. I believe this comes with a bare CPU. Anyone have any recommendations on a cost-effective heatsink/fan combo?

I don't remember the model #, but someone mentioned before that Fry's also has a CoolerMaster HS/F that's adjustable and suitable for higher clocked CPU for $9.99.

Its the Cooler Master XDream HAC-V81. I got it for this combo and it works just fine. Its really quiet at the lowest speed, and the temps get to about 52 C under full load. Not too bad for a $10 HSF.

this deal is in dallas too. ends today tho, new ad will be out tomorrow.

and i can comfirm that the Cooler Master XDream HAC-V81 is a very good hs/f for the price. on my 2000+ its showing about 38c @5000rpm, 43c @2800rpm and about 40c @ 3500rpm (which is still very bearable).

Does anyone know if Fry's will still ship over the phone orders?

I wish there was a Fry's near Detroit, MI.

I have heard that some of them will.

I live in michigan as well (Grand Rapids)

I have no clue how much they charge to ship, but i'm thinking of calling them up
