What's up with these $300-$400 top drawer boards?? The Stryker is on pre-order at $400 at zzf.

A couple years ago... Abit's top shelf 875p was the IC7-MAX3, the IC7-G and the IC7...

The vanilla IC7 was around $120 with the MAX3 around $175.

Have capacitors, plastic and pcb DOUBLED in price in the last 3 years?? We certainly know the BIOS programmers are no better than they were 3 years ago...
