i over exaggerated, but i should've stated excluding shipping. The motherboard is $10, the CPUs linked are also $10 a piece now and I figured another $10 or so for the RAM. So including shipping I cant see it be more than $55-60 shipped?

From the intel site, the heatsinks alone would cost around $37 shipped to California. So i guess 33% of the total build =P.

regardless, this is a pretty cool setup for $100 US, if indeed the $13 heatsinks are the lowest around.

maybe cuz i got some TX3 for $13 apiece that I feel those are a bit pricey, and without a fan to boot. however, as u have mentioned, it seems like a steal when you take into account how specialized they are.
