not to worry.. fry's has those sorts of deals all the time... when memorial day rolls around, there will most definitely be some crazy deal going on ..
Keep in mind though that the ECS board they are packaging these days is a pretty low budget board with minimal features and only questionable reliability.
Also, keep in mind that if you've been to Fry's as many times as I have, you'd see that almost every one of the "package" boards on the shelves, and many other popular items, are customer returns.. Yes that's right... what you guys on the east coast don't know about fry's is they typically throw customer returns right back on the shelves with a little sticker but do NOT discount the product in any way.. Half the time, the product doesn't even work because some crafty customer switched the products instead of sending his out for RMA.
Personally, I would rather pass up a deal than buy one that's been used at the full price.. my experiences have always been bad and it's never been worth the hassle.
When the next deal pops up on a mobo combo, i'll look out for it and u guys truly want some of these deals, I can pick up a bunch at Fry's and ship em to ya guys w/o any charge of my own. In Orange County alone there are 2 Fry's and a few more in L.A. Just PM me when a good deal comes out and I'll check it out.
