As long as you can be without your system for a few days this is a pretty good deal for those that want a new board with 3 way SLI, PCI-E 2.0 and all the other good new stuff that came out recently.

I'll take your word for it, as the link seems to require membership.

Sorry, didn't know. I updated the first post with some info.

Interesting, I have their 680i board....

However I don't feel my motherboard needs upgrading, and I don't have money to waste on it...

Then don't do it. But for someone that wants the next big MB from them at a cheap price it's a great deal. Even the warranty is extended.

I noticed that. Its a killer deal.

Anyone else running the EVGA 680i board? I love mine. The only problem I have with it, sometimes the PCI Audigy sound card gets pissy and causes a crackle/pop when switching between games and Windows.....after I put it in the lowest PCI slot. If you use anything but the lowest one, it just plain won't let you play games without the sound crashing.

Something about the bus or IRQ or something, been awhile since I built this machine
