Opteron 165 - $263 shipped @ Monarch, no coupons

PerlAddict · 07-10-06, 04:34 PM

I know new AMD prices are supposed to be coming out soon, but this still seems like a good deal for the "real good right now" crowd, and I had heard speculation that the Opteron prices wouldn't be dropping along with the X2's, anyway. Know clue is that's actually a valid statement or just speculation, but here's the link for the Opty's at Monarch Computer:

$260.97 + $1.99 FedEx Ground.

If I didn't have a honeymoon just around the bend, I'd sure like another one to stick in the fiancee's rig. But such is life ...

Wow! this is crazy. the opteron 165 price is already dropping that much!? I remember it was like 70 bucks more only one month ago.

My Wife asked me last night what I wanted for my Birthday. I told her a PDA, but I may reconsider now. This is GREAT. Thanks for the heads up.

It's not that great of a deal IMO. With the Monarch coupons, the price for an Opteron 165 has been hovering around $270 for a few weeks now. Given the prospect of $180 X2's in the near future, I'll be waiting.

Seufari · 07-11-06, 02:31 PM

its been around $270 for A LONG time (months)... Just before, you had to enter a code.

I am not saying its not a hot deal, because it is, its just that its not that new... I have bought three of them from monarch in the past 4 months

Warren G · 07-11-06, 03:23 PM

yup, the opty 165 has been in the 270 range for awhile now. good to see its value not going down as fast.

HousERaT · 07-11-06, 03:28 PM

sooooooo..... any of the [H] coupons still around? could turn out to be a sweeter deal.

I doubt it... I think that would be a loss for monarch, and they are not in the business of taking losses...

Regardless, still a good price, ordered one already.
