[US] MicroCenter Phenom X4 840 + Motherboard for $99

Cybrnook · May 1, 2011

This is an awesome deal, just upgraded my File server and my HTPC to Quad core 840's. I took the MSI S785GTM-E45 for my HTPC and the ASUS M4A78LT-M LE for my File Server.

That is a great deal Cybrnook!!!

Dang, wish there was a Microcenter close :-(

I think there used to be a thread floating around of people willing to pickup and ship items from local Micro Centers to members of TPU. Naturally, buyers pay shipping and handling etc...

Seems the thread has since been closed

And I just bought an 880G and PII 840 like 3 weeks ago for $180... I am a sad panda...

I'm running UnRaid on this asus board with the 840 for my file server, and its sooooo nice. I know it's a bit overkill, but the system will be ready for whatever I throw at it in the future if I choose to run a different distro. The on-board chipset and LAN chip work flawlessly. I am getting on average 75MBps read and 70MBps write with a cache drive. I could not be happier.

this deal/type of deal has been there for years at MC.... nothing new :/

That Phenom doesn't have L3 cache so it's basically an Athlon II X4 650, still great deal tho.

Well yes they constantly run combo deals for huge discounts when picked up. But it would be new, just like videocard discounts from newegg and such, they do them and have before, but cool if people post it.

It's not like newegg though. This particular deal, free mobo with certain AMD CPUs, has been at Microcenter for years. Kinda like the i7 920 deal that was at 230$ became the i7 930 at 230$. It basically is the same deal, nothing new.

MC has been the place to go for cheap AMD setups
