Good Times!!! Let them keep falling!!!

I really want to wait for the next gen of Nvidia cards before upgrading to a Core I7 platform but things are looking good so far.

Microcenter seems to have the best deals so far:

+1, but I'll wait to see which is better Nvidia or ATI.

 

[Lukee]

The only issue I have with MicroCenter is that there isn't one in Miami and they don't ship.

go online to ebay get your 25% cash back via windos live, i7-920 as low as $220 when you get your cash back.

 

[Lukee]

I'm really thinking about it now. If I don't have to buy new memory, it would almost be worth it. I can sell off 2 MB and CPUs and it should pay for the new processor and MB

Just saw the 965 extreme on Ebay for $879 + 30 shipping. Buyout.

I just saw that one. After Cashback that's a pretty sweet deal His feedback is a little sketchy though...

 

[Lukee]

yeah, but with paypal, you should be ok. Worst case, you dispute with them and if they don't do anything, then dispute with you CC company. That's why I always pay cc through paypal. 2 avenues should things go wrong.

wait... just past 2 weeks i've been trying to buy Asus motherboards and some E8400 or E8500 cpu's and i could not find no live 25% cash back on any of the listings that i clicked on. did microsoft put it back on or something?

 

[Angry]

Will prices for the Core 2, dual and quad alike, come down now? I want to give Intel a try..

 

[radi4fun]

nope the prices of the core 2 duos and quad cores have not came down yet. i'm just waiting for them to drop, and if they take too long... arggg i might just have to settle with a used core 2 duo E8400 since i'm very impatient

 

[Lukee]

I'm trying to sell my C2Ds. lol i could use the cash for an upgrade.

 

[radi4fun]

hehe as soon as i get paid, i'm gona buy one i7 is too expensive and i still have not figured our how to do the live 25% off rebate thingy i'm gona look in the forum and see if there is a post on how to work the live thing.

 

[nd4spdbh2]

pretty good prices for brand new hardware... but the mobo prices are what kills the i7 at this point in time for me.

I like Directron and have bought many times from them but those prices are a bit high especially the 965.

 

[Mr.Guvernment]

ya they dont always have the best prices, but they beat newegg on the 920 retail

i want Q2D to drop so i can get a q9 series and move my 6600 to my HTPC!
