awww come on, you're no fun :P when things are on sale you're supposed to stock up

alright, now Nitteo has P6Ns on clearance $80 ea shipped.... I'm getting a P6N and an e2180 for $100 shipped sweet deal if you ask me...

he's also got a bunch of 8800GTs on clearance for $85 USD shipped, you could probably get them @ $75 ea shipped if you bought 4 at once, with a mobo and CPU combo... great deal

Thats a folding machine for practically $420 dollars all you need is a PSU/HD and some RAM

I have had terrible luck with the P6Ns, the Community Project has one in RMA now. I will go the AMD route next build. Rig #1 went the AMD route, and look at it just cranking away. I love that setup, I have 2 of my own. A third on the way. We need to get rig #2 up and going before we start working on rig #3.

So you are deciding that is better to let deals go and pay retail later because your not ready for rig 3? That's the stupidest thing I heard. It's all about price per performance and it's not hard to throw a PC together(minus hardware failures). I say buy them up and save the investors of this project some cash in the long run and get the cheap hardware while you still can.

I apreciate the advice. I'm trying the best that I can. I dedicate my time, hardware, and my house to the Community Project. I'm sorry you feel that I'm not doing a good enough job for the community. I will be glad to step aside and let someone who will do a better job take charge of it.

I RMA'ed the board, and the board that came back did the exact same thing. It will only boot with 2 cards installed. Admin and I have agreed to sell the board and CPU and go AMD instead. So, that is where we are at now.
