I'm pretty sure it's a standard i7 920. It's in store pickup only though - no shipping.

You cant read???

"Included Accessories: Intel® designed thermal solution (Fan, Heatsink)"

Great deal BTW. $70 cheaper than newegg, plus you can make sure it's a D0 stepping. I got mine from them which made my decision to go i7 a no-brainer. The only downside is that you have to have a microcenter near you.

So you got a D0 stepping from Microcenter? I live in the bay area and can get one from there, but I thought somebody said that they were not selling the D0 stepping ones.

Either way it's a steal so don't pass it up.

I cant say for sure about your location, but the microcenter near me (MA), had plenty of both C0 and D0 versions. Before I could even ask the sales guy to make sure it was the SLBEJ (D0) version, he asked me which stepping I wanted.
Do your self a favor and just go check it out.

I'm thinking about it, but then again, i might just wait for the i5. Not sure what to do.

Absolutely. I recently bought an EVGA GTX 275 for $214.99 of which same model is going for $239.99 on NewEgg. I also watch their prices on LCDs (as well as Fry's) because NewEgg's dead pixel return policy of 8 minimum absolutely sucks (I'm willing to even pay a little more including sales tax, and have, just for the insurance to return it with even 1 dead pixel). It's also great to have a cost competitive brick & mortar nearby without having to wait for the Brown Truck for days on end.
