Opteron 165 939 RETAILBOX $301 shipped!!!! @ Monarch

[Fallengod]

**UPDATE 2/8/06: Coupon has been used up folks. **DEAD***


I take no credit for this, since I found it mentioned on another forum. Monarchcomputer.com has the Opteron 165 Retailbox 939 DualCore for $328.89 with $2.99 fedex shipping.

AMD Opteron 165 Dual-Core 1.8GHz 1MB (per core) 64/32-Bit Socket 939 (Retail Box-w-Fan)

Theres a coupon code for $30 off!!!
I would list the code here, but rules prevent me from doing so. pm.
I have no idea when it expires or how many uses are allowed. I confirmed it works because I just ordered one myself.

UPDATE: Code is limited to first 70 uses and expires on 2/21/06.

Total came to:
328.89
+$2.99 shipping
=331.88
-$30 coupon
=$301.88 shipped


Decent deal I thought considering they sell for close to $400 on ebay now after amds price increase. Not to mention these come with those great amd stock copper heatpipe sinks that sell for $15-$20 on ebay as well.

eh? i don't know of any new $30 coupon. there was one a while ago, but it expired.

 

[Fallengod]

I dont know why you posted that. I just said there was...I already bought one so I know it works. I just placed an order 5 seconds ago.

 

[saltedeggman]

confirmed, it DOES work, but i decided not to get one.... hard to justfiy the extra 300 when i have a decent CPU (2.5 venice)


Edit: I decided to get one after all, since this is a pretty good deal and i have been itching to get a DC (after I parted with the same 165 2 weeks ago). There is some chance that I might not keep it .... who know... i will probably throw it out on the For Sale forum if I decide to not keep it

 

[Fallengod]

I have to go to class. If anyone needs code pm salt or cw42. bbl.

DDR1 :thumbsdown:
Socket 939 is a dead end, bad investment at this point


good luck getting $50 for this CPU once the AM2 CPUs come out in a couple of months

[GR8Madmax]

If one of you guys can PM me the code, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Every socket is eventually a dead in. The fact is, right now a dual core S939 processor is best CPU on the market.

1.8 ghz 1 mb cache per core? total of 3.2 ghz when both are together.???? wha? (sorry guys, i 'm not keeping up to date w/ my tech stuff)

 

[MrX8503]

you're obviously using an Intel, and have been sucked into their marketing

WTF! The single core Optys are insane in price now yet the dual cores that overclock almost as good aren't much more. I paid $240 shipped for my 146 a week ago, yet for $60 more I could've had this!! At the time I didnt think DC would be any use, but now I kinda feel like it would've been a better idea.

Socket AM2 is expected to hit the market mid-2006, but how long will it hit the mainstream?

Also, there are rumors floating around that AM2 will be delayed, just google it.


Welcome to the world of technology ? Dead end??

 

[saltedeggman]

does the code still work?

 

[kyparrish]

Just used it, I'll have an X2 3800+ for sale for about ~$250 when I get this baby in

 

[p3z]

Could someone pm me the code please? thank you.

 

[itsrunninghot]

hmm.. I have a p180, neopower480, and dfi ultra-d on the way right now. Was planning on just swapping my opty 146 in and going for 3ghz (currently at 2.74 stock volts). This is very tempting.. but i must resist, I only paid $170 for the 146. But i do have all this swapping out to do anyway. Hard decision.

[richardb]

I sure would appreciate a pm of the code.

Thanks

 

[Zim]

Code please. It's my birthday!

UPDATE: Got it! Thanks!

 

[richardb]

I've got it. That was quick. Thanks everyone!

 

[LanFear]

Just curious, i've never seen the reason posted why, i'm sure it was a long time ago, why aren't coupons allowed to be posted? Not fair to other sites that offer them?

 

[Fallengod]

Code still workin? Someone pm me if it stops workin so I can update thread as dead.
