I think that's the Emprex.

It's been quite a while since Fry's had a sale this good. I just got back from the B&M Fry's in southwest Houston. I got one if the $380 Toshiba laptops plus the FAR Canon all-in-one printer that goes with it. I also nabbed two of the $20 AR Brother 5-in-1 B&W laser printers and a few of the smaller FAR items.

I just came back from Fry's in City of Industry. There was a line in the morning of about 100 people but everyone was going for different stuff so I was able to get mine w/o problems. Lots of hard drives as well as the Zalman 9700 fan. But the stock on the $3 AR Jabra bluetooth is small (on the show floor anyway) and will probably sold out fairly quick. They're well stocked on the games on sale and their video cards stock seem to look the same (no abnormally huge stock on any of the video cards on sale).

laptop is out of stock at the Plano, Tx Frys B&M also. don't know about the other 3 nearby locations.

There were about 20 people lined up at the Concord CA Fry's by opening time. I was in the middle of the queue but got laptop number 1. I asked at checkout how many they had and the CSR replied about 20. I told by friend about it but they were sold out by the time she dropped by before 9am.

I was just able to add it to the cart and pull the trigger.

Does anyone know about the ECS G31T-M motherboard with the Q6600 bundle?

Will it work for with a BSEL mod on the Q6600 for some cheap overclocking?

Here's some info:

Pulled from techPowerUp article below- "Overclocking is quite limited on this board. The BIOS has only options to change memory timings and CPU Frequency. Voltage adjustments are not available."

Newegg.com Reviews on ECS G31T-M

Not sure if BSEL is a good idea on Q6600. Hopefully someone can chime in.

EDIT: Thanks manko for the link to a successful Q6600/ECS G31T-M BSEL mod!

My Vostro 400 Q6600 overclocked to 3GHZ with EASY tape mod. No voltage adjustments needed. Ran 4 instances of PRIME95 each with affinity to it's own core.

ROCK SOLID STABLE. Fast too.

I think this is a good deal too. Window Vista Ultimate 64/32 bit with SP1 = $169 - $50 (Fry's gift card instantly) = $119.00 + tax. Most of the eBay sellers sell these for $189. Newegg sells $179 with free shipping.

We can buy this and put on resell it on eBay and keep the gift card.

Building a Solid Rig from posted deals:

PNY 8800GT 229.99...AR 139.99
ECS MOBO & Q6600....179.99
Seagate 750GB SATA HD...109.99
Zalman CNPS9700....19.99
20X Internal DVD writer...37.99...AR:17.99
2GB Crucial DDR2-800 49.99...AR:19.99
Antec NSK6580... 89.99 AR:39.99

Before Rebates: 717.93, AR: 527.93

Q6600 @ 3.0GHZ on this rig would be a very very stout machine.

Some caveats:
-ECS Motherboards can be somewhat flakey, but people have successfully gotten the Q6600 up to 3.0ghz on this mobo
-Crucial Memory, some good, some bad, lifetime warranty though.
-Antec Case and PSU: Earthwatts are hit or miss. Looks like a large chance failure rate on the reliability bathtub curve...but, many are also good. If this Newegg review is right:
Newegg said:Pros: All Antec EarthWatts, NeoHE's, and Trios are manufactured by Seasonic, and that is what the UL (E104405) will confirm as well. The EarthWatts has 80+ efficiency from 20-100% loads, excellent voltage regulation, low ripple, and even though it claims to have dual 12V rails it's actually a single 30A 12V rail. It also comes with a 3 yr. warranty, and Antec has one of the best warranties in the business.
Then it will be an excellent power supply for the 8800GT with the single strong 12V rail.

Awesome computer for 527.93 in my opinion.

It is Retail.
