Looking for several Q9650 CPUs

[winstontj]

Any ideas where I can buy 4-6 Q9650 CPUs at a reasonable/non-retail price?

ebay?
I'm sure someone has them on black friday special today anyways. How cheap are you planning on getting them?

$169 each at Micro Center

Don't you want retail for the 3 year warranty. It's a heft price tag to take a chance with warranty.

I never saw a Q9650 at Micro Center for $169... I'd gladly pay that for those chips.

As for the warranty - I'll upgrade to i7 boxes in about a year so it's a short term thing - cheap, functional = good
