[QUOTE="cdr, post: 520486, member: 550804"] dustin no offense taken but let me give you my opinion on that. Pricewatch.com will give you the lowest prices or any online retailer, the great thing is though that many of these retailers are not at all reputable, take a look at some of them on resellerratings.com Let me price out my system for you at newegg.com agruable one of the best online computer retailers for both prices and service. -p4 2.0aghz cpu: [URL="http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-116-132&depa=0"]http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=19-116-132&depa=0[/URL] keep in mind that is an oem version I have a retail version with still a year on warranty [B]$121[/B] - soyo 645dx dragon ultra: no longer on newegg and sure on pricewatch it is going for $70 right now but I have never heard a thing about any of those dealers, so we will settle at $70 but you will have to understand that that is more than half the original cost of the board.
