    I have seen a few people buy them... They are legit...

    They deal in a larger large bulk orders... So yes I can see them doing that! Plus that doesnt come with a heatsink

    They make you buy the board and proc... But they push other products on you too to make more of a sale

    Its just a ad ploy to get you into the store

    Why can't they have a Fry's in New Hampshire or Mass. The Compusa and bestbuy here sucks for cheap pc parts, everything is overpriced.

    Very true actually, the so called "ad-on sales" they try but do not succeed. Atleast not on me. All the parts are new and yes no heatsink but for a copper one its another 20bucks or so.
    19.99 + 89.99 = 109.98 It's still a damn good deal IMO. Considering some places (like newegg) charge me taxes on I buy anyways...

    Reminds me of this guy on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=31508

    List of other bone systems he sells: http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...sort=3&rows=25

    Shipping is steep at about $50, but he is shipping from Canada. But still at $70-120 that is dirt cheap for a motherboard,cpu(most with stock HSF),case and ps. Look at his seller rating of 15500+ and he is moving some major amounts of hardware and at a 99% positve!

    They have a Fry's opening in Washington state in about a month . Perfect timing since I will be living there for at least 4 years for college.
