I'm sure the deal is still on. Just maybe a little pre-mature for their awesome pricing, other on-line dealers would use the same enticement if they could.
Newegg better be like $210 for the 2500k.
Man if this was $100 with FS I think I would bite!
edit: Newegg reviews are rife with failures by the 1 year mark. But I guess these have already lasted the test of time.

That review is such a joke. He used his girl friend and some dude that works down the hall for the listening tests. They couldn't tell a difference!
You can see the Realtek plays up to 20kHz, most people have crappy plastic computer speakers that don't even have tweeters! Even if they had...
Almost regret that 4GB Muskin kit deal that sold for $30 AR. But in reality 4GB is plenty for most systems. Waiting patiently for Sandy Bridge as well :D
Too bad the minimum power tested was 160W, which is unrealistic for 95% of PC users. A PC with a modern video card and the latest CPU will use 80-100W at idle, where the PC will sit for 99% of the time. They should also test the efficiency at 50W where a lot of HTPC's idle. :( disappointing review
One would be CRAZY to buy a 1366/1156 MB/cpu now when Sandy bridge CPU/MB's are coming in out in just a few weeks. Heck even P67 MB's are available around the world!
That system won't use more than 100W! That cheap PSU will power it fine, the only thing you should have is a quality surge suppressor like one from Tripp-lite (all PC's should have a surge suppressor).
It looks like an elcheapo cpu cooler, radial aluminum fins, and a section that extends over the ram chips. No copper at all. This card will definitely benefit from a upgraded cooler, but for now I need cpu/mb upgrade personally.
I got mine too, I OC'd it to 800Mhz and tested with ATItool stress test and with the fan speed at 65% it only hit ~62 (EVGA precision). Mind you thats with the TIM upgraded to Arctic 5 and running the card without the plastic shroud. But right now I'm cpu limited, so the card will get a lot...
I''m gonna have to wait for a deal on the U2411, after going through that review posted on the slickdeals site I have to have the adobe srgb color space.
Check it out AMD Phenom II X6 1090T and 1055T Six-Core Processor Review
They didn't OC the 1055T, though they did get the 1090T up to 4.2GHz.
Hoping for cheap 890FX MB's :D
edit: 890FX goodness at Newegg!
Its finally here, AMD's fastest dual core with the latest stepping. Should have a high success for quad core unlocking. Excellent chip for the gamer.
Newegg AMD 555
I might wait personally, I'd like to play with AMD's SB810 MB when they come out.
Soooo tempting. Here are the newegg reviews from over 3 years ago Linky
Back then the 7800GT was hot, and some are talking about a dropped frame here and there, but claim their getting ~50fps and blaming the monitor.
Decisions... Their are new affordable SIPS monitors coming on the...
Use Vlite.

I think a lot of them have a little bend to them. Just gently bend it straight, its easy to do.
I haven't tested mine yet, I'm waiting for some Arctic Silver Epoxy to show up. I've got a really old AMD cpu cooler thats going to be lapped and permanently attached to the gpu, I attached the...
