Wow, a brown PCB. Lovely how MSI loves putting the color of a turd on motherboards...ugh. Great deal nonetheless.

I read your post and thought 'Really, how bad could it be?' Then I looked at the pics. Turd indeed.

Eh. I don't care what the fuck the mb looks like as long as it has good features and does the job well. It looks like this mb is pretty good.

Before 2000, many major brands use this brown color including Asus.

So this is really an Athlon II and not a Phenom II, right? The ad says Phenom, but there is no Phenom 630 that I can find.

That add definitely says Phenom II x4, but there is no 630. That's an Athlon II x4 630. I wonder if you can push Fry's to give you a Phenom II x4 in this deal, or are they gonna say it's just a typo and not honor it.

It's a pretty good deal for the 630 x4. It's a frickin' awesome deal if they give you a Phenom II x4.

For comparision, I purchased a Athlon II x4 620/MSI 785GM-E65 combo from Superbiz last week and it was $149.20 after their $15 instant coupon AND Bing cashback.

x4 620 is 100 so the mb is like 40. not too bad.

Asus still makes some boards that are dark, dark brown but this one takes the cake!

I would really like a Fry's here in NJ. Nice deal.

My MC is having a similar deal....Athlon X4 + 785G mobo (non-poop colored)

I think the motherboard looks fine. Almost retro brown. If I was building a PC, this would be my foundation.

Agree, looks fine to me. I'd rather have brown than red blue or some other silly bling bling color.
