Apparently this motherboard is available for $1700 HKD (£110) in Hong Kong.

So here's hoping it won't be anymore than £150 over here.

is that including Brown tax?

No, we gave back Hong Kong to the Chinese, so they won't be charging VAT

Hong Kong is tax free for buying electronics products.
also shipping to Hong Kong is very cheap.

Does he say in the post that it can not beat either the Asus board and the J&W board?

Yes, he did.

I hope so, otherwise I'll have to buy one of those too...

you may not need to, OPB tried so hard to reach 500FSB for E8400, not talking about Q9xxx yet. :rolleyes:

I don't think that they ever went into production but evolved into this X48

ohh, I guess that would make sense.

Well, my IP35-Pro would hit 505FSB with my E8400, so no Foxconn for me!

It's unlikely you'd get enough back to make it worth the effort. It's a bit like selling a Q6600 and buying a Q6700.

I was thinking of buying it just for the joy of cutting that thing off the top of the NB heatsink.

This is looking awesome.

I wonder how the Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme will fit?

What is that over the SB? Just looks like a thermal pad.

Doesnt look like it will fit in a normal case if it is seated vertically.
