Damn, I'm considering canceling my order based on the bait and switch talk. Few things convincing me here:

1) Seems the pic is going back and forth between the card and the mobo

2) There are 2 product descriptions, 1 for the card and 1 for the mobo

3) While the technical details that are seen show are for the card, if you click more details, it also gives specs for the board

4) If you go to TD's website, they have a Evga 680i mobo for $119.99

Any thoughts?

Thing is... they apparently did do something like that a while ago, except it was a Ipod nano switched in for a Mac Mini
http://www.wangproducts.com/article.php?id=84

Also, there is still the issue that the product description and technical details still contain info based on the mobo. TD could claim the other stuff was "accidentally" put in. Stupid, yes, but it is a possibility

My thought is:
That picture wasn't there until now. Someone posted that picture as "Customer Picture", and I kept pressing F5 over 100 time now, and the picture not change back.
Someone just want to mess with us...

the ad was originally for the evga 680i board for $119. they switched the pic and product details but the link and stock # is the same.

the guy who ordered 15 is gonna LOVE his 15 evga 680i boards.

i really dont need one at all.... but i'd take one at that price or a bit higher. im not gonna take the risk right now because i have so many other things to buy right now.

if anyone wants to sell me one in a week for $140 or so LMK. im only gonna be using it for physx anyway.

dood... SV.... i know this does work sometimes. im not saying its a total crap situation. im just not in need of the card bad enough to order one myself. however.. if someone wants to hook me up for $140 or so id take one for sure.

i did this a year and a half ago and got 24 8800gtx's for a damn good price. i think i ended up making $300 on each card after i shipped them all out.... and i used a few of them too.
