Is it true that i7 was just $220 on Newegg? Hope not, otherwise, I will be really pissed off.

What processor?
Was it a motherboard instead?

An i7 920. Thanks

That was MicroCenter. In store pickup only. Sorry if it pisses you off:

$199.99

The $199.99 offer is still valid. Anyone who needs it and has a Micro Center close by, add it to the cart and rush there.

I thought it was $219 on Newegg... Sad, I was about to ask my cousin who lives in the U.S. to get it for me. New Zealand retailers are insane, for example, they sell the Q9550 for $457 NZD which is about $290 USD, FFS!
