[Baaka]

SOYO DRAGON+ and OEM cpu for $299!!

edit: MAXTOR oem 60gig 72K............... $109 (But it's really a rebadge seagate i bet)

Smartmedia 64mb $22

 

[GotSomethingCheaper?]

Thanks for the post.
Looks like a good deal... a OEM CPU goes for about $180 + $150 for the cpu so you save about $30.

Anyone have the SF Bay Area Ad... can someone please tell what cpu/mobo combos there are...?
Thank you.

Get the Dragon+,you will love it. (100M Lan, RAID, Overclockers BIOS, and 6 channel sound on board!) I picked this up at fry's with an XP1600 2 months about for about this price. BUT download the BIOS patch for it first! My MB had an older BIOS that locked up with XP processors. Once it's upgraded it's fine. For drivers, the TW site has newer drivers than the US site, but the TW site is very slow.

 

[Baaka]

Damage, wat bios do you have on right NOw?/? i want o pick this up after work adn all!!

this board looks awesome, i was going to get the epox 1800+ for around the same price!! but this i can't pass.. =)

Go to SoyoUSA or Soyo TW site and look up the dragon plus. You will find the bois download there. (It was updated in October or November)

The MB is black with purple PCI slots, and is really neat looking. In addition to what I said it had in my last post I forgot that it has 6 USB ports, and a Smart card reader free with the board. You can program your Cell phone SIm card right from your computer with this or use it for "security".

 

[GotSomethingCheaper?]

Damage... does the Dragon Plus Fry's carries include the USB/Smart Card addon slot drive?

 

[Damage]

Yes. I haven't used the card reader yet, but it has the 2 front mount USB's on the same bay.

The TW site is hard to copy links from, but these should work

If this helps, rate me good.. I only have one vote so far! heheheh....

This is the same deal in the SF Bay Area....
Does anyone have the price split for this combo? How much the cpu is and the mobo?

 

[Syspilot]

I've been looking at the Dragon+ for about $150 plus ship and I just bought an XP1600 for $129 plus ship.

 

[Baaka]

most place sell Dragon+ for ~$145 plus shipping and CAL Tax comes down from ~150-160

and XP1800+ is alz at least ~$170 oem

so this is pretty good...

then add a fan for $30+

looking at 360ish

yeah but 299 plus tax is $323 anyways..

and you can alway buy Dragon+ and CPU from other states..

 

[Scrounger]

Same deal at the Portland Fry's and Oregon doesn't have sales tax.

I'm such a geek, I paid 35 cents for a paper just to look at the Fry's ad.

 

[Baaka]

Shipping is so much I haTE THOSE D@MN COMP THAT CHARGE LIKE $15 TO SEND ME A CPU WTF is THAT:disgust:

 

[Chu]

I am so tempted to jump on this . . . quick question, is it true when you order from Fry's you usually get returns? No Fry's out here in the middle of nowhere indiana.

-Chu

 

[Heinrich]

It's still $349 at outpost.com. Not fair!!

 

[bruntoj]

Paid $349 for this combo (boxed CPU) a few weeks ago. Bios was completely up-to-date with Soyo's website, but its worth checking.

 

[Baaka]

FRY's is THE BEST PLACE TO RETURN!

IN FACT I RETURNED MY STUFF TODAY, and got BRAND NEW ONE!!

FRY"S DON"T CARE ABOUT YOU BUYING AND THEN RETURNING

CPU have a 15day period thoguh...but no restocking fee!!

others all have 30 days !!

I HAVE BOUGHT TONS OF STUFF AND RETURNED THEM NO QUESTIONS ASK...the way i see FRY IS ALMOST FREE RENTALS!!

 

[Danzilla]

<< IN FACT I RETURNED MY STUFF TODAY, and got BRAND NEW ONE!! >>

Why? Was there something actually wrong with it?



<< FRY"S DON"T CARE ABOUT YOU BUYING AND THEN RETURNING

Of course it's not free. Your used parts will get stuck on some poor old couple that doesn't know to check and see if what they think is new was actually returned by some schmoe for no reason other than it was almost two weeks old.

I went buy Santa Clara tonight and they had about a dozen motherboards,
every one of them with a nice white return label
Most of the boxes looked pretty beat up too....

I was gonna pick a couple up, but I dont want to deal with the hassle if the board is dead...
Chances are, most of them have nothing wrong with them, but who knows...
If it was a boxed CPU I would have got it for sure,
Maybe next week....

 

[Herbman]

Fry's has the one of the best return policy for computer parts.

If i am unsure about a product. I will buy at Frys if it not up to par it goes back. With no restocking jive.

 

[Baaka]

well frys is cool like that...adn if people shop at fry's they know what's used and not., cause they have those stickers..saying that the product has been returned anyhowz

in any case my mobo kept crahing on a 5min scale
