Gigabyte UD9 shows up on newegg...

[Russian]

AND ITS RIDICULOUSLY EXPENSIVE!!!

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128446

Yeah, thats right. Its $700. $100 more than the Eff'in EVGA SR-2 which supports TWO CPUs, 12 Dimms and 4 way SLI/CFX...

Honestly, what the hell is Gigabyte thinking?

[=[PULSAR]=]

Wow that is indeed an EPIC FAIL, maybe its not on Gigabyte though and rather and extremely high markup?

[WrigleyVillain]

Cons: i'm a law abiding citizen, unless you're made of money gbt apparently wants you to rob someone so you can afford this board.

[Manicdan]

it could be newegg marking it up, if no other site has it for sale yet. trying to be the one to get a few off before competition rolls in.

How much have you seen Newegg mark up a board? 100 dollars? 200 dollars? 300 dollars?

I'd say the markup MIGHT be 50.

[damha]

So my body-parts estimate was close. Not surprising. Extreme overclockers will buy this even if it was at $2000.

we saw them push the price of the intel SSDs up by 120% more than MSRP

[Musho]

I hope that's the case. This is simply ridiculous. Then again, if people vote with their wallet, Gigabyte should have to drop that price soon enough

Yeah, but was anyone really selling them at MSRP for very long? Most people were selling them significantly over MSRP.

[TheKarmakazi]

Yeah I could buy 2 classifieds for the cost of one of these. FAIL!

many were selling high, but newegg beat them all by a mile

i can see gigabyte trying to get 500$ for the board, and then newegg pushing for the rest while they have the upper hand. im betting this sku will be deactivated and a new one pops up tomorrow with whats more inline with what gigabyte wanted.

GB could be the ones pushing the price high, but newegg has a history of doing this to us, which is why im betting they are. or hell it could be both

[Starscream]

i havent been with Intel in a while so im out of it a bit but 700 dollars?
Intel stuff has always been a bit more expensive then AMD stuff but 700 dollars?
What makes this board 700 dollars kind of special?

Yes its a nice board with the amount of x16 PCI-e slots, 2 USB 3.0 slots, 10 SATA slots ofwich 2 are sata600 but whats the bit that makes this board so expensive?

[Biker]

Simply put:

The price =

[LiquidReactor]

So how is Giga X58 UD9 over 2x better then Asus Rampage Xtreme III?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...0rampage%20III

Only $370 at the egg and pretty much the same features, 24 phase, dual 8pin power etc.

[OhNoes!]

Come on people, we're talking about $700 here! I mean $700. $700. Come on, $700! What are we talking about? $700!

[endlesszeal]

that price is outrageous. however, if someone buys it, they will build and price it accordingly.

i mean look at the Intel EE for a cool $1000. also, the obligatory comparison to super cars; do you really need a 1000hp w16 that goes 240+mph and cost over $1 million US?

[zsamz_]

i just bought a rexIII
i wouldnt pay even pay 400 for this board

[Loque]

ouch.. can't be that price, will most likely average $500 in a couple weeks..

[WhiteFireDragon]

jeezus, what a price rape. in par with evga classified 4-way SLI, yet costs almost double.

[ghost_recon88]

Gonna call up newegg and see how many they've sold so far And then get the name and address of everyone that has so I can show up at their front door and beat them senseless

[[XC] Synthetickiller]

And I don't even speak Spanish!

[Jamesrt2004]

I said this will be stupidly expensive and pointless.

only elitists OCers that get given hardware will get it.. boring.

[systemviper]

WOW,

get them fast, only 18 in stock....

[Expat GriZ]

499 euros here in Europe....not even considering it.....SR2, RE III, all the Classy's to choose from.......definate n0 way J0se.

Well, this ain't a board, but it's a decent example of what Newegg will do. The Patriot Gamer Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) started out at Newegg for $599 and lasted about 6 hours before they popped it to $699, (price history at Newegg here).

I purchased the same RAM at Fry's for $499.
