This is a good deal because you can resell the motherboard on Ebay for $60. That would make the processor only $160, which on NewEgg.com would be $219 by itself.

Also, has anyone else heard of OutPost's policy where if you pay for Overnight Shipping, and DHL delivers it late, they refund you the difference between Overnight and what you would have paid for 2nd Day Air? That sounds like BS to me, why not charge me for 2nd Day Air, and if you get it here Overnight, I pay you the extra?

For those who don't want to click through or do math, it's $219.99 for the combo.

Oh yah, sorry about that.

 

[kamranziadar]

no sorry

I guess you don't know what mobo is involved, and you just assume any mobo will sell for $60 on ebay. Well good luck !

Uh, if you search ebay (completed listings) for the motherboard bundled with the process, you'll see the average sales price is $55 + 10 shipping, but shipping isn't more than $5.

It's a pretty decent motherboard, actually.

IMO: Most of the frys mobo pc combos that are advertised are ECS motherboards..

so is this better than the P4 520 combo deal for $199?

how much faster is the P4 3.2E vs the P4 520?
