I'm wanting the new 939 FX-53 for a new system in a little over a week, but can't seem to find any 939 mobos yet. Anyone know when they will be coming around?

I would check pricewatch on a daily basis. Don't be surprised if you have to spend $200 or more for the first boards.

ASUS A8V DELUXE S939 K8T800PRO AGP 5PCI SATA 1394 SOUND 1000LAN WIFI
$267.90 CAD

That's the first one I seen for sale and it is in stock.

More Motherboards will show up soon.

Here is more info on this board:

Personally I do NOT recommend purhcasing it since its using the VIA chipset and the locks on them are either not working or are sometimes working sometimes not. Its a bug with virtually every chip.

Wait for the nVidia nForce3 250GB chipset motherboards to come out. They are very slightly slower but the locks on them are 100% working so you want to use that for OCing, if you plan to do any. They also have a far better list of features.
