It's Sandybridge & their out of stock already, somebody bought um up & will sell them on e-bay probably ...

If I go now I'll probably go with:

MSI Board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130644
INTEL 3770K CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116501
GSkill Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231569

Maybe order just enough of the Memory for 6 Box's, I would get 20 Free Dimm's of Memory with the Motherboards, so that would do the other 4 Box's @ 16gb each & I wouldn't have to bother trying to sell the excess Memory ...

Looks like you a good setup there. Just curious, are you planning on the upgrades soon?

Well I have to order the Memory by tomorrow Night or the Deal Expires, also don't know how long the free memory with the motherboards will last. I was hoping to maybe wait & see what other deals might come up before Christmas before ordering, probably between now & Christmas anyway one way or the other ... It'll give me time to rebuild the Box's while it's still winter yet.

There will be other mobo deals i'm sure, but probably not really any better than this one, except for the crazy ones like on that EVGA board that sold out in 20 secs :/ Next time, instead of RAM maybe they'll discount it more, or maybe a discount will just as much but won't include mail-in crap, etc. Basically you could buy that MSI or wait and buy something else of equal performance at an equal value. Only concern is it may turn out to be a brand you don't care for.

That's what I'm thinking too, I'm basically getting the Motherboards for $99 if you figure the cost of the Free Memory, I doubt I'd see the Motherboard selling for that any time soon ...

Most likely that will hold true. And sorry about not posting that super MSI deal sooner. Hadn't checked my email until after my first post of the day. Which is a bummer since it arrived in my box at 4:31am this morning....

Review of that MSI board just posted today: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2012/...erboard_review

Seems pretty decent.

Thanks John, I'm still Procrastinating on the Order I know I need to Upgrade the Box's but I have a hard time justifying the Cost of the Upgrades ...
