SB i5 2550K

Okay, considered it's $160 plus tax, what do you guys think? Especially if you are waiting for IB to show up in April, is it even worth getting it to play around for a few months?

Yes. At $160+tax, it is cheaper than microcenter's i5-2500k by $20.

Pretty enticing, let think about it. The coupon expires 2/26, though. I have to do it now or tomorrow or just wait for IB.

It is worth it. Do it!

It is worth it. Do it!

On further consideration, I think I'm gonna hold off. Trying to save as much as possible for the IB 3770K!

But if anyone wants one, I can use my coupon and pick one up for you. Just have to PP me before I go there. Either tonight or tomorrow.

Oh, with tax, it comes to: $171.64 out the door. Well, then plus Paypal fee (I'm just doing you a favor) and shipping.

What's your batch#? Is it a C batch? Last week some time, I saw a few in the case with the C batch. I've read that C batch OCs the best.
