I"m pretty sure I've seen Monarch do this before. In fact, it seems to me that it's happened pretty much everytime someone rolls up with a nice price. It's possible that they have some sort of dynamic pricing based on demand. In other words if they sell so many within a certian time it may intuit demand and automatically adjust the price. Just a thought.

Yeh I can see a price mistake on one or two cpu's , but the whole dc Opty line (165/170/175/180/185) ? Very doubtful imo .
Even when I get Monarch emails with such deals in them , I'll go "right away" to the web site and 85-95% of those deal never exsist , or I get the now famous "script error" for that page .
If this is a bait tactic its a poor one , as all is does is pis* me off .
I was looking forward to this so-called deal to try and recoupe my $300 , as Monarch still owes me a $300 refund from a order that was cancelled due to no-stock back in July/06 (long story) . I figured this MAY have been the best way to resolve this issue ... but again , I SHOULD have known better when it comes to anything Monarch related .

Stinks the price went back up. Though everytime someone says "we should sue 'em!" when a company changes/cancels/runs out of a sale, I want to slap a kitten, and it makes me cry inside a little.
I winced when I saw the $149 price, considering I paid like $275 for my Opty 165 and THAT was onsale at Monarch and a hell of a deal at the time.
I was kinda hoping the price would stay down since I knicked the transistors on my Opty and haven't gotten to test it yet to see if it was still good. Would've been nice knowing a new chip would only run right around $150. Oh well. The price can only go down again. Here's just hoping it's sooner rather than later.

Anyway, they kind of fix the price now. They are selling the 175 oem for $248. However, the retail version cost twice as much. I just picked up the oem version.

Anyone know of a good place to get a good, cheap 939 board. I need one for my backup, folding, server rig if I decide to get this processor. Already have a 165 in my main rig and it rocks!!! Would like to have my server future proffed for a year or two........... Already got the RAM and the cheap video card.........

I have briefly looked there. I need a good 939 AGP board or one hell of a deal on a PCIe 939 board. There were none available at that time. I am thinking I will wait until the Intel 4300 (I think that is the name) comes out and then I will buy. But I love AMD so I am in a delima. Oh, well I will try the Hard Forums and XS for sale threads I guess...............

all i have to say is http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?Submit=list&SubCategory=22&Type=OPENBOX
well, maybe not say, more like show. i ordered 2 boards in the past month, the asus a8n5x. ((works great, no adapters, just the board itself. only flaw i had was getting the stupid pcie to work, but since its just a folding rig, i used a pci graphics card i picked up from geeks.com for 10$.)) the other board i got is a biostar Tforce4u. ((came completely packaged. I MEAN WITH EVERYTHING!!!. the box had all the goodies, even the promo stuff they were sending out. awesome overclocking features, easy to setup, great board for cheap.)) i payed about 80$ for both boards.
