Remember the Hi-Val CD-rw/ free CD player deal of last summer at Office Max?

I phrased my question poorly, Yes, I know that some were shipped. However, this was an issue for some time because some people didn't get there's. And the next shipping date kept getting pushed out until the last I heard was that they were trying to get the last ones out in time for Christmas...

Remember the Hi-Val CD-rw/ free CD player deal of last summer at Office Max?

Asus A7N266-VM $74.99 shipped from NewEgg!!!

I turned it down because I was confused as to what it's upper limits for a CPU are. So I bought the MSI KM266|3P2D MATX 6390L for about the same to start off. But $taples has it (IM13722370), so I was able to buy a modem and a keyboard and apply a $20 off $100 coupon. Nothing against ASUS.
