40% discount code automatically applied.

I picked up an 8GB stick of DDR4 ECC RAM open box on Amazon for $44 to compliment this. Not bad for $300...

Thanks
picked up 2 boards with 2 separate order.
Each order allow me to get $25 American express credit for each order.

My self-restrain just went out the window.

ASUS P8B-C/SAS/4L is 60% off

That looks like a pretty good board

Note that that is a LGA1155 board so not current gen

Yep, I hadn't bought any big items over the weekend but this pushed me over the edge in the final hours of temptation.

So long D525 Atom, hello Xeon D! I was going to buy the Pentium D-1508 for $315 but I like the $50 savings, huge performance boost, and active heatsink this board has. I'll miss the M.2 slot of the Pentium D-1508 and I won't miss the 10GB ethernet (at least for a few years!)

Thanks for the posting.
Which ram stick you picked up?

This one. They had a single Amazon Warehouse deals open box left for $44.

I'm already regretting not paying the extra $2 for fast shipping from Newegg since my RAM will be here in a day!

Just pickup 2 x Dell Micron 16GB PC4-1700R 2133P 2Rx4 DDR4 Memory - MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G1A from ebay
16GB RAM = $65 each , $130 total for 32GB RAM

 

[smitty2k1]

That's a steal for a 16GB stick. I wish I would've seen that yesterday

Snagged one of these boards before they all sold - Thanks!

Also just picked up a couple SK Hynix 16GB 2Rx4 PC4-2133P-RA0-07 HMA42GR7MFR4N-TF sticks. It seems to be a pretty good deal, as long as it works. I just ordered them today so haven't tried them yet. One set left if you're interested.

Screaming deal on that ram. Wow!

I ended up having to buy a new PSU for this board in my case, so I've already busted my budget on this little upgrade

 

[wheets]

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Wasn't a planned upgrade, but had to jump at the deal on the board. Still trying to piece all the other components together...Thanks again.
