Sorry to hear that, and I hope I didn't exacerbate and disappointment or impatience.
I do want to thank you for cluing me into Fry's -- we don't have any here in NJ, and I was amazed by the prices. I tried to find the mobo from your list via MySimon, and no one in their listings had the board for less than twice what Fry's is asking. That's just amazing.
Fry's also suggested an I7 2nd Gen CPU for the mobo, and I'm wondering if it's worth it. The raw numbers don't look like that much of an improvement over the CPU you chose, but I've been out of the hardware game for so long, I really don't know if there are other factors and considerations that come into play.
