Q9550 - $232 from Dell

They also have a pair of X58 boards that work with the coupon. The Asus Rampage Extreme II and the Asus P6T6 WS REVOLUTION,
 
Ack, should i bite on the e8400 here or the phenom II for 134

then phenom II, no question. its not as fast as the Q9550 for 232 but its a 100 bucks less and not that far behind. bang for the buck its hard to beat. (shit, I payed 230 for my 940 not that long ago)
 
$329 for the Rampage Extreme is pretty sick. Newegg @ $388 + $10 shipping for 3 day.

You won't see this drop $60 in a month, so its safe to say, if you wanted that board and you pass this up, you're just delaying for no reason, jump on that bad boy.

+ Free Shipping over $129. So umm, yeah.
 
Oh my goodness I am getting the i7 920 processor that makes it 90$ off only 269! and I am getting the P6T6 WS REVOLUTION workstation 100$ off only 299.99! and I am getting my Lian li pc a77b now too $319 down to 239!

Too bad they dont have the tripple channel corsair memory I want dang.

it is saying this expires april 02 for anyone interested
 
tax really ruins this for me though, the total comes out to 250 bucks with free shipping and taxes.. so thats 20 bucks cheaper than newegg. its a nice deal but its not crazy hot like I was hoping.
 
If these deals had come out a couple of months ago it would have been much better. Now with the cost of i7 920 rigs getting much lower, it isn't as tempting :(.
 
Hey the code works with GTX 285s!

BFG GTX 285 OCX for $310 with F/S but taxes may apply ( as sadly they do in my case).
 
you guys don't find that when they add tax and shipping the deals become a lot cooler?....
 
If there was free shipping I'd be all over this deal. I'd like to move to a quad core that will last me for some time to come...but shipping=no thanks.
 
Gah,, I can't stop thinking about it!
Tried to contact dell customer service to get a shipping quote, but they want business name, address, all that crap just to give a shipping quote. If I do bite, and don't own a small business, can I just make up a business name and use my address? Do they actually check that stuff?
 
they don't care if its a real business. you don't have to give them a tax id number, and you couldn't claim tax exempt on it anyway...
 
WOOT!!

I just pulled the trigger on a major upgrade for my pc and got a Q9550 and GTX285 for $517 + tax (lame tacked on like $50 but at least shipping was free). All in all though, seems to be a really good deal and beat the egg by over a hundred bucks. I'm so excited, I usually never get high end stuff like this and the upgrade from my e6300 and 8800GT will be something!

Thanks OP :)
 
Yep....I just did something stupid and bought the chip from Dell. My e4300 Never was a great overclocker anyway, and I honestly can't see a deal that beats this one coming a long in the next few months.
Only problem is, not I've got to buy a True 120 and a couple of extra case fans. My little coolermaster aquagate wont be able to handle cooling this thing, and my LianLi pca05b case doesn't have the best airflow in the world.
