Default E759 limited edition

Buddy on another forum (dominick32) has one of these available for $325.

Is it a solid version of the classified series? I really can't afford it...mainly because I cant afford to get the other parts for a while (I am supposed to be saving up for an aparmtent afterall) but at that price.. well I am shocked by the price drop on the classified boards lately and just curious if I should say F it and pick it up anyway?

Well I am sure new eVGA boards are fourth coming. If the new specs are not important such as USB3 and 6gb SATA then I would say take advantage of it as that is a killer number on that board ..... The WC on the NB seems as if it would be an advantage in this board in my estimation....

Madd Daawg has one maybe PM him and see how he likes his ...

But like I said if you have use for the new specs then it may be better to wait but you know those boards will be starting @ 400+ .... if it stops at that

Hard to say with your economic condition brudder. I'm not sure why the price drops as the board obviously supports Gufltown chips. Could be a shift to 4-way motherboards.

That is a current auction last completed sale of a E759 on ebay went for $390+shipping

Meh, I shouldn't do it. Prices are dropping for a reason I guess. Wish they had been that low back when I had an i7 setup :( I would have sold off everything else I own to keep that i7 rig lol.

Who knows.. maybe in a couple months I can grab one for under $300
