[52club]

Very hot deal (compared to Newegg price -$169)on a decent CPU for a gaming machine. Pretty warm deals on the Q8400 ($140) and i7 920 ($230). It is time to jump on the PC gaming bandwagon!!!

99 bucks is exactly the price point i was waiting for! I have my E6300 OC'd to 3.0ghz right now, wonder how far i can go with the Q8200. Anyhoot, ill be picking one up tomorrow! Thanks OP!

Dang, wish we had Micro Center around these parts...

Want to thank the OP for the deal, i finally found some time today and installed the Q8200 and i have it overclocked to 2.93ghz with just upping the bus speed and 0 other tweaking. Im sure i could have done more tweaking and gotten more but its plenty for me. Thanks again!

That's dead sexy, but I don't even push my 4300 enough to justify an upgrade just yet. I wish I could put something like this in my work computer though (

The i7's been that price for nearly a month now. Some OK deals here.

I want the Q8200, but I don't have a car to drive down to buy one. Great deal for it though.

Wow. $100 for an Intel quad-core processor. I remember spending $225 on the E6400, and that was a good deal back then.

EDIT: That's what I meant.

well AMD Phenom quad cores go for < $100. But this Intel quad core is actually quality

Pretty good deal, grabbed one then ordered a new mobo and memory to go along with it.
Now just to find a buyer for my old parts....
