ASUS LGA3647 ATX Motherboard $236 in CDW Outlet

It took a while for this to come down to this price and I believe it's got a few more drops to go, but it's sitting at below most used prices at this point so I thought it would be worth it to post it:
ASUS Z11PA-U12 LGA 3647 ATX MB (BSTK - Z11PA-U12-BSTK - Z - CDW Internal Use/Service Pts - CDW.com

Outlet items are usually single pieces, so call in the order and confirm stock. They can have more than one, but that's rare ime.

Excellent price, but not sure which one is being sold. The entry is for the regular model but the photos show the “Z11PA-U12/10G-2S” model which has 2x 10Gb SFP+ ports (X722 based, so it supports iWARP RDMA and VXLAN).

A good deal either way, but if it’s the 10Gb model, it’s fantastic. Shame the Xeon SP’s are so expensive.

Just as a heads-up, the SFP+ cages in the photos I believe are wrong. Specs say 1GbE and the product page says 1GbE Z11PA-U12 | Servers & Workstations | ASUS USA

Patrick is right on with his analysis. CDW (and other retailers too) mess up photos all the time, so that's how it probably ended up in the outlet in the first place as someone thought it was the 10G version and got it only to find out it wasn't and returned it.

I searched for the non-10G model (the actual model number being sold) when I did my pricing research. Even the used one at B&H was still a bit more expensive than this one and ebay was about $100 higher for a used one. Once this drops in price below the $200 mark, it will be in super solid deal territory.
