http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-109-MS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1283 Sorry if tis old news, but this is the same as i paid for a mobo for my q6600 back when they were new. Only one left when i link this. Any thoughts on the board? EDIT: Also i don't have to pay VAT so its even less for me EDIT 2: MSI don't even have this listed on their site expcept in a press release, odd? :s (http://www.msicomputer.co.uk/index.php?func=prodpage2&maincat_no=1&cat2_no=170)
It's mostly the huge price of DDR3 and the starting price of $300 for the processors that make i7 so expensive, not so much the motherboards.
^ All of the X58 "components" have come down in price. The DDR3 is a lot cheaper than it was - I bought my RAM for £197, now its £147. Motherboard's started out at £250, now they're around £170-£240, and the processors - well they've gone up in price.
same! But this has only made me feel sick, just knowing that I7 related hardware is tumbling in price, and i've just bought a new 775 board. Maybe i shouldn't feel bad, but i cant help it! its the new hardware impluse i tell ya!
