I got in on the $300 combo - $180 for the 2500k and $120 on the Asus P8P67.
Barely.
My day started out with me placing an online order for the pick-up. They had 20+ CPUs and just under 10 motherboards.
20 minutes later, no email. Read policies, "oh, not before 11am Sundays."
Okay, a bit after 11am I got a cancellation email.
Turns out they decided to NOT accept any holds on the processors.
Damn.
Okay, well I already told my buddies I'd show up for lunch, so I drove down there. Borrowed a computer and re-ordered the motherboard, which showed as last one left. CPUs showed as 14 left. Had some nice Mexican food.
Show up at Micro Center (Chi/Westmont) some time around 3pm-ish. There was a single 2500k in the glass case, and maybe two 2600k (not sure, covered by sticker on glass). Hardly any sales guys, which is rare. Waited about 10 minutes for help (guarding that last chip, LOL), before a buddy dragged a sales guy he knew away from another customer who was wasting time not deciding.
Guy said, "guess we have to re-stock the case again. Did that several times already." So, guess they had more. He said they sold probably over 20 of them, and should still have some more in the back.
I did get the last mobo though.
I decided to not be greedy, and didn't get my buddies to buy them for me (I had cash to give them). If I want another one, I'm sure I'll have opportunities in months to come.
