[WTB] Looking for a nice x38 board

Urbklr · Sep 6, 2008, 02:31 PM

Title says it all, looking for a nice X38/X48 board...preferably ASUS, but other brands are fine...No Gigabyte thou. Looking to spend $160 shipped, can go higher to around $200 if you have a board that is really worth it. Thanks

Edit: Needs to be DDR2, unless you supply the DDR3 with the board

I actually have a spare maximus formula board ...

Go and talk with TRT... I believe he has his Max for around $165... I believe he will do something if it's not all ready sold... I'll be checking on my board come tomorrow to see if it was a dead processor or is still what I thought. Dead Sata ports.... but I'll have to see on my end.. I'll most likely be selling it once it found out the problem, or back from RMA
