Hmmm, how many can you get? I mean, can you print 10 coupons if you wanted too?

Anyone want one if I get more then one. Tho after 6.5% tax and shipping it may make it a poor deal?

Must resist. Waiting on a deal at an online retailer where I don't have to pay taxes and shipping. With the falling prices the E8500 might be a better deal. Also the E8600 comes out on 8-10. I saw where it has been OC'd to over 5 Ghz just on air. That's insane. Retails for $266 if you want the latest and the greatest.

Ordered one online for in store pick up (going to get it today). Great thing is that the Micro Center near my office is in an economic development zone, so tax is half that of most places in the state (3.5% versus 7.0%).

@ $155 for retail... Great deal IMO.

We need a Microcenter in Wisconsin. I used to live a couple miles from one in Chicago :(.

I picked mine up last night, put it in today. I have to say, an e2140 OC @ 3.0 feels slow compared to the 8400.

Heh I own this chip. Very nice chip. Great deal but have no need for one :(
if I had extra cash maybe an HTPC or something.
