Fry's stores in LA/OC and probably other areas have a new round of motherboard clearance prices. There's a lot of open box (and some plain boxed refurb) stuff so it might not appeal to many people.
I picked up another ECS P965T-A* (new) for $29.00 and an Abit AB9 Pro (refurb, P965) for $49.99. The refurb Abit boards only come with a 90 day warranty.
I saw some open box (with full warranty) boards marked down really cheap, much more than the usual 5% discount. There were about 15 or so different boards on clearance, almost all either S939 or LGA775 (many ECS, also Abit, Gigabyte, Intel, etc). I don't see any of the same deals on outpost.com.
* can do 1333MHz FSB from CMOS setup and I used to run mine with an E4300 @ 3GHz. 800MHz FSB CPUs need a pad mod to 1066MHz to make 1333MHz FSB work.
