MOBO z97i-drone $70 newegg

[you2]

z97i-drone is a mini-itx z97 mb. Not sure if this qualifies as a hot deal because it seems that $70 is the normal price. Then again no one else is currently making a mini-itx z97 board so if you want another model (new) the only thing available is old-stock and they are frequently $250+ (if you can find one). This board hits all the high marks for a mini-itx (1150 alc audio, intel ethernet, m.2 socket for wireless - you can get a nice intel one for $27).

Title changed for folks who think z97 is a new jeep.

Looks good!

Edit: AT review mentions MSRP @ $110, so it looks like Newegg is blowing out old stock.

Would be a cool mobo even for a G3258.

Edit: Yeah. OP, plz edit title and add "mobo"?

z97 should have been a giveaway that it was a motherboard.

z97 should have been a giveaway that it was a motherboard.

Or a Chevy Truck. Or a new model in the Corvette family. Or any one of thousands of other products with model designations.

But a drone is a drone. Or something a wife does while you watch football.

Yeah, I came into this thread last night thinking Drone as in quad copter. The title needs to be edited.

It's a really dumb name for a motherboard, that's for sure.

i guess if you confuse easily or forget that the corvette is a zr1 camaro a zl1 and the trucks are z71 ok then.

but i guess if you are on newegg or a COMPUTER enthusiast site z97 really could be a corvette...or camaro....or truck.

I gotta be honest with you here--and it might attest to my state of mind when I first saw this--but I thought it was a piece of equipment used to build your own custom flying PC . . .

I thought it was some weird gimmick where a motherboard comes bundled with a wifi-controlled drone
