Newegg has the XIGMATEK HDT-D1264 120mm Rifle CPU Cooler for $31.99 with a $15.00 MIR and $7.00 shipping - total $23.99
So, I haven't decided on a motherboard yet for my first quad. Looks like I missed some really good refurb deals this week. For under $100, is the GA-P35-DS3L about the best I'm going to be able to afford? They seem to get pretty good reviews.
Newegg has the new Abit IP35P mobo for $89.99. Can't find any reviews on it though.
I'm not one to care about things like this normally, but ugh, what a fugly board. Abit keeps on changing their budget P35 boards around. Everyone likes the IP35-E, just go back to making that one.

That looks like a nice kit. I may go with that. Thanks.It looks like the 1000 kit is $90 with free shipping right now.
Okwia,Mushkin makes nice RAM still, but there are better prices out there.
G.Skill has a DDR2 800 kit and a DDR2 1000 kit that have been on sale multiple times recently that seem to be very popular with everyone. AFAIK, the 800 kit doesn't always OC very much over 800Mhz though. If you needed more than 800 Mhz then you can do like I did and just get the 1000 kit.

You guys and gals are killin' me, here I am biddin' my poop hole off on fleabay, sweatin' if I win or loose the bid, super careful of dealing with this Motherboard Outlet joint because of a bad rep I read on this forum, finally get a Abit IP35E mobo that I paid premium price for (and feeling fortunate ) and then I open this thread up and read about a mobo that's, IMO, as good as the Abit board for no more than I'm doin' (Q6600, with luck OC'ed to 3.0 GHz or 3.2 GHz)
Only kiddin' about the "killin' me" part and I really do appreciate the "heads up". I just gotta' check the "Good deals thread" more often (D'oh)
Okwia,
I have come to love G.Skill. It is in all of my rigs now. If you are running a Q6600, save you money on the DDR2 1000 kit. The DDR2 800 kit is cheaper and you will NEVER see the difference between the 800 & the 1000 kit. The DDR2 800 is perfect for the sweet spot of a Q6600 at 3.6 (one to one ratio).
Also, of note. I did try it (before I took my own advice). To use it, you have to run 2.5 (on your Gigy MoBo, much like mine) for your memory divider. My Gigy board did NOT like this one bit. It booted (barely) and was never stable. I then bought the DDR2 800 and have been fine since.
Just a suggestion cause suggestions are free
Absolutely!! I'm looking to purchase a bunch of these shortly.
Here it is now even cheaper, $80. Check out this memory promotion I received in my email last night. I went ahead and bought the memory earlier in the day before the promotion came out. I emailed NewEgg as soon as this promotion hit and they agreed to credit me the $10.It looks like the 1000 kit is $90 with free shipping right now.

They have some other memory deals in this promotion as well but this is probably the sweetest.
Thanks. I bought 2 of these and will probably cover most of the cost by selling my Gigabyte.Newegg has an open box MSI P35 Neo for $59.99
