newegg's been out of stock for awhile now ... and tigerdirect is also ... thanks for the link tho.

Why would Microcenter be selling it for some $40.00 less?

 

[topher219]

Currently Im deployed over seas and Ill be building a new Computer in Apr sometime when I get back. So I have just over a month to purchase the parts so that they will be waiting for me when I get back. Do I buy E8400 now since two places still have them in stock? Or do I wait till last couple weeks in March and hope for a price drop and gamble that someone still has them in stock? Or possible snag one of the new Quads next month?

Just raised the price to $199. I bought the e8400 at $189.

Try for one of the 45nm Quads. At $199 the e8400 is a great choice though.

I agree the $199 is a good price but with Microcenter you also have to consider sales tax and shipping.

I walked in, $189 no shipping. Newegg, ZZF, etc. charge sales tax and shipping where applicable. When the Quads show up, you will have to pay tax and shipping. Obviously, microcenter has the best price on the e8400 if you want one.

microcenter once you add to cart says its no longer available ... "gah"!

 

[topher219]

I was just met with the exact same disappointment, no longer available.

Microcenter was out when I went there the first time. They had them back in stock the next day. Keep checking.

I just ordered from zipzoomfly ... says its in stock ... i'll find out tomorrow i suppose ...

Current status from ZZF is "Packed" ...

Good news for me, its in stock ... heads up for anyone looking.

Doh... I could have sworn it said in stock. I hate it when the website plays tricks on my browser.

mWave has them in stock NOW for $229.00. The price was $211.00 on Feb. 1st. when I got mine!

It still says in stock

If they are outta stock, thankfully i ordered sunday so i'd be inline come monday morning ... its shipped and will be here tomorrow ... Keep checking, that chip is worth it ... tho if i had to wait any longer i'd of just went with the q6600 which is still a damn good chip ...

 

[makotech222]

it was for a little while, then it came back for some reason.

 

[gwolfman]

what about the e8500? i haven't seen it around much

 

[darkage]

Haven't seen it at all to be honest ... and i doubt it's gonna be worth the wait over the 8400, specially if your looking to pop a quick 4.0g off the cpu .. the 8400 is king ...
