Well keeping with bleeding every last cent of that 1.1k out of my quad extreme 6800 I picked up a evga 790i ultra refirb on special at tigerdirect for $129  :O I grabbed a cooler master v8 to go along with it.

Some people were complaining about dead boards but im not worried b/c half of them sounded like idiots and tiger direct always stands behind what they sell.

I was disappointed to find out that tigerdirect is sending the refirbed ultras out the door with no northbridge fans. I went ahead and returned it and bought a second hand 790i FTW TR instead. The ultra originally cost me $130, I paid $172 for the FTW and it came with a core 2 duo E6700 which sells on ebay for ~$115, so I really only paid $57 for the mobo  :D

Once I get my ram I will have this p5n32-e 6gb of ram, E6700 duo, 800w bfg psu, bfg 9800GT and the stock intel quad core cooler. Going to see if I have a presentable case in the basement and sell it to somebody. Worse comes to worse I will sell it in the antec case my xeon is currently in.
