OT: I got NForce2 boards in
Brand spankin new. Athlon NForce2 boards from Leadtek. If you are a gamer, and/or PC hardware enthusiast, you'd know it's an anticipated board. Price is surprisingly low, $190 + tax. Board supports dual DDR and DDR 400 and AGP 8x, etc.
Also, Athlons are dirt cheap these days. Time for upgrades! I am on vacation next week, so I'll even waive install charge if you buy then. If you buy CPU/RAM/mobo/case upgrade from me I'll install for free.
EDIT: For ppl interested in video cards, here are the price:
Leadtek
WinFast A250U NVIDIA GeForce IV Titanium4600 128MB VIVO, DVI Retail box $405.00
WinFast A250U NVIDIA GeForce IV Titanium4600 128MB TV/O Retail box $385.00
NVIDIA Geforece IV Titanium4200 128MB VIVO + DVI (R.B) $265.00
NVIDIA Geforece IV Titanium4200 64MB DVI + TV/O (R.B) $230.00
WinFast TV2000XP TV-Tuner (R.B) $95.00
Forsa
Geforce IV Ti4200 64MB DVI+TV/O, AGP4x (R.B) $199.00
Geforce IV Ti4200 128MB DVI+TV/O + AGP4x (R.B) $235.00

Yah, motherboard, with builtin sound and LAN. Dun think it has video coz it wasn't a popular component on the NForce.

A while ago the 4400s were the best deal, I suppose because NVidia's thinking of fading out the inbetweener.
Now the 4200 still rides in around $215~$265 range depending on 64 or 128 (Leadtek WinFast). There are some cheaper OEMs if you feel brave.
PM me if you need one.

I can pick them up next week, Monday, since I'd like to get a couple of orders together. The more ppl ordering parts the cheaper I'll make it. Generally I justify picking up parts gross over $500 a run (to absorb cost of myself going to the supplier to pick up and meet up/deliver to you guys, [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG] )
So keep the orders coming, and I'll make some good prices for y'all.

It's not a huge hurry, the price won't change much in the next while, and availability will not be a problem.
I'm just offering for next week if you do an upgrade deal I won't charge install fee, and if enough ppl get together I'll meet up and deliver the goods.

Why do you want MSI over Leadtek? Price? I only have the 64MB flavour (I think they yanked the 128MB) for $210, and the 128MB 8X AGP version for $340.

I think retail box, not ATI though... I really recommend getting the Ti4200 over the 9000 pro, for difference of $50. I think for most reviews the 4200 comes 30%+ over the 9000 pro. The only plus side of the Radeon is it's DVD and also it comes in OEM flavours at places.

As I said, the 128MB MSI is gone, no more coz the AGP 8x has taken over. I only got prices for the 64MB and the 128MB 8x.
What do you have against Leadtek? They are the best video card company out there, you can refer to sharkyextreme.com for reviews...

I'll tell you Monday as the suppliers update their stock over the weekend. There may be some coming.
Trust me, spend the extra $$ and get the 4200, you won't regret it. If you go with OEM, got bless you. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/IMG]
I've had bad experience selling MSI video cards, 2 of 5 came back for weird stuff happening, and that's my limit for trying a brand. MSI makes wonderful mobos but video card, questionable.

RB, let you know tonight. I have last week's CPU price but I don't think prices changed all that much.
Macrossranma, I'll get those prices for you, 9500 Pro not available yet. Too new. Haha, maybe in a week or two...

Radeon 9000 Pro no stock (making way for 9500 I assume, but might have some midweek, waiting for updated price list on Wednesday for one supplier)
"Forsa" Retail boxes DVI-TV/o
9000 64MB $110
9000 128MB $140
Ti4200 64MB $200
Ti4200 128MB $230
128MB RDRam 400MHz $80 each (subject to daily price rate)
For a comparison, the ATI 9000 and 9000 PRO are slightly slower than the GF3 Ti200, but the Radeon 8500/8500LE are surprisingly faster and come just under a GF4 Ti4200. But the bonus is that 8500s, especialy 3rd party boards are relatively cheap in the $150 range for 128Mb. That is what I am buying soon. Whereas GF4 Ti4200 is still $220 range I've seen.
I looked at the 9000-series, but its weaker than the 8500. Has same feature set, but 8500 can process two textures in the time that 9000 processes one so it slows it down quite a bit. ATI is phasing out the 8500 because it is more expensive to manufacture the R200 than the R250 GPU.
I think for the money, you can't beat an ATI Radeon 8500-series board. It is in the same price range as GF4 MX440 (which is lousy).
ATI is trying to phase out its old boards since the new R250 and R300 boards are coming. Nvidia has no such plans, since the RV30 GeForceFX won't be here until first half 2003 so they have no reason to offer deep discounting on current GF4 products, as such you won't get too great of a deal.

8500s are in short supply, so good luck finding them. They might still be on retail shelves, but would be expensive.
Also, 9000 series support the upcoming DX9 which 8500s don't.
