Wait a couple months and see how the price war shakes out.

That is still 939 based stuff and will be obsolete soon. I suggest you wait till July 23rd for Conroe and all the assossiated price cuts

Once Conroe and the other cuts made it to the retail market I am sure the Q3 system guide should be upon us.

The question is, the TR system guide has been such a hit, should we even bother to update the SBA sticky? :roll:

Do you have any of your stuff to reuse?
Monitors, legal copies of the OS, keyboard, speakers, etc...Those kinds of things make a big difference when budgeting.
