Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

price adjustment on a M$ OS?

Got the wife to agree to go, twice the chance of winning something now!

Coming back to the subject, too bad nothing close to Washington, DC. I still registered to go to NJ - sounds like it will be worth the drive. Now all I need to do is convince the wife that we have to go! Thanks OP.

Take the Amtrak train?

 

[Massa2]

Tampa here I come. Thanks OP.

Hopefully those of you that attend the earlier events will let us know if the packages get handed out in the beginning or end so we don't have to stand around all day.

Nah - the train is too expensive between DC & NJ - round trip ~$200 & if my wife will go, it will be double that! I will drive (that is the American way, right!)...

Flippin' sweet. Finally one of these nerdy tech shows is near me! I'm 10 minutes away from dirty Jersey.

 

[Slack3r78]

Thanks for the link. I'm signed up to hit the show in ATL.

 

[RobDog]

Do you have to give them a credit card and complete a bundle purchase to get an email telling you where the local show is? I see here in the post where the are. But I want an official invitation....

question for those who reserved a bundle... did they give you a claim # or what?

I am ecstatic, the Houston show is ACROSS THE STREET from my office! Supersweet!

I think all 17 of my office mates will register! hehe

I don't have the money to buy a combo at the moment though, maybe next week.

 

[thefamoustraders]

Just 15min drive to Lynnwood, WA. July 12th is rather long, but maybe worth a try.

 

[dmcowen674]

I'm in New Orleans, nearest show is Houston, 6 hrs away.

Anyone in New Orleans area want to ride?

 

[statik213]

nowhere near columbus, OH...

 

[crashish]

500 bucks for 1k+ worth of hardware = I'm there. Irvine Marriot, here I come.

 

[Braxus]

FYI if anyone is looking to sell opteron combos on eBay, a set of chips seem to be selling for the upper 200s/low 300s & board upper 200s.

Microsoft NFR software usually is clearly labeled on the disc so that you definitely won't be able to sell. Microsoft/eBay supposedly polices listings to further prevent this. Dunno of any labeling on NFR hardware to make it easily identifiable.

Best you can probably do is break after the usual eBay/PayPal fees. Maybe lose something if people flood with new listings.

If you plan to actually use it, the hardware portion isn't too hot of a deal but bundled with the W2K3-x64 it definately is well worth it.
