MSI Big Bang Fuzion LGA 1156 Lucid Hydra Mobo: $359.99
MSI GTS 250 1Gb $139.99
Combo Discount: -$160
Rebate on GTS250: -$10
BCB: -$10
Total: $319.98 free shipping

So essentially you get a $140 video card for free and get $40 off the cost of the mobo. I'm in for 1 since I wanted the mobo to begin with.

Not threadcrapping, but a GTS250 is not valued at $140 these days... There have been numerous placing them ~$100 AR etc, +/- ~$10

ya after I posted the thread, I looked up the price of other GTS 250s and theyre all around $100-$110. Still, the combo is -$160 when the GTS250 is added, so it's a deal either way.

Rumor had it awhile back Intel was going to be launching a new Smackover board with the Hydra chip. The existing Smackover is an LGA 1366 board and Intel has invested in Lucid so that would make sense. But that rumor has not materialized. I also asked someone at Intel who hadn't heard anything.
 
anyone seen any performance updates based on the newer 1.5 drivers? almost all reviews are with the 1.4 beta drivers. i'd hop on this deal if the technology actually worked a little bit better. i have a 285 and 5870 laying around... if only it'd support physx + eyefinity in a package. bwahaha!

WIthout decent drivers this would be a gamers nightmare. Nice looking board thou.
