E6750 $149.00 Fry's Portland, OR B&M

[maotsan]

:D I just bought one. SLA9V. Who knows how long this will last. I had to ask the sales guy twice if the price was for real. He said there was a screwup with a proc/mb combo and the store manager said to sell them at cost. I think they didn't have the mb's to go with them. When i find a scanner i'll post my receipt.

Good luck

No kidding! I always see these Fry's B&M deals and we dont have one :(

[JRW21]

go back and buy one for me please!

Fry's isn't in Portland, its 40 minutes South of Portland in a town called Wilsonville.
Now if Portland was, say, 20 minutes closer to Wilsonville, then I'd defitely go and check this out.:(

Can't wait for that scan of your receipt though!

:D

[Marvelous]

IS this retail or OEM? All B&M stores?

40 minutes my foot. Wilsonville is exit 283. Portland starts at what, 295?
only way it takes 40 minutes is during the 5pm rush hour.

[Blaineikans]

I was in Portland 2 DAYS AGO dangit, oh well I'm there 3 months then I miss the good deals AND Rockfest :(

I-5 South before 205 merges sucks from 3-7, easily

Oh yeah! I was just going down to OHSU today from Vancouver at about 3:00 and it took us at least 35-45 mins. Imagine that but multiplied a few more times and thats my dad trying to get to Fry's.
(I cant drive yet, and he's only willing to drive down that way after work.)

:(:(:(

Take your time on that receipt scan btw.;)

Anyone confirm this is legit? I'll take the drive down if its real.

Purchased a combo with ECS MATX G33 Mobo and that was the price of the CPU in that combo. May have been a huge YMMV as the person may have typed in the sku for the combo sku, minus motherboard.
If not, I agree this would be a hot deal.

How much for just the board? :confused:

[lgestle]

Was 218$ for the combo. So if my AM math is working that was 69$ for the mobo. So on the receipt for mine it listed 6750:149$, ECS Motherboard:69$. Still a good deal and worked great in my Sugo SG03. Not a big fan of ECS motherboards personally but best bang for the buck in that price range.
I did get a chuckle with marketing on the back of the mobo box pointing out "Low profile heatsink for the SouthBridge." This low profile heatsink was actually a single flat piece of aluminum with no fins. So in reality I would have the same cooling capabilities if I placed a quarter on there:)

I live 15 minutes from the Wilsonville Fry's... Just down wilsonville road, nice, scenic drive.

[Aelfgeft]

Considering how 6750's have been OCing, this is BLAZING!

Another comment about a Fry's needed, this time in Wisconsin, preferably Madison! :(

[Ravynmagi]

Very nice. I bought mine from Fry's a month or two ago for $209 (I was impatient).

Though I'm surprised there is no mention of this deal at http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com . So it may not be at all of the stores.

[maotsan]

Considering that it is my wallet taking the hit, the interesting thing to me is that each of these items is less than newegg... the exact same items in a cart at egg comes up $74 more. might have to go to Fry's more often..

I forgot to ask. Did you find them on the shelf or on like a clearance table type thing?
Also, how many were there when you got one?

[Space_Coyote]

I just called my nearest Fry’s in Downer’s Grove, IL. They are out of stock regardless, but have it listed for $209.99. The only combo was with an Asus P5K for like $390! I guess you lucked-out!

I wasn't really planning on buying one, I just asked a young skinny sales rep "how much for an e6750?" "$150" "what?!" "yeah, $150, there was a screwup with a combo deal and the store mgr said let them go at cost. I almost bought one myself."

another, older, sales rep rang it up for me. Just a standard purchase, unadvertised deal. Regular box unopened, brand new. I have no idea how many there were.

They don't have them off the shelf; the salesman prints a piece of paper which you give to the checkout guy, who pulls the inventory from a supply behind the counter. They do that for some small high-dollar items like procs and RAM. I surmise that they do it that way lessen the number of five-finger discounts.
