Intel Retail Edge - The Holiday Deal 2011

Good if you're trying to upgrade or planning to build a new computer.
Have to work at one of the places listed below and prove it with a pay stub of some sort scanned and sent to them.
As well, when you become a member you should be able to purchase the items for "members", if you want the rockstars or rocklegends you have to complete surveys or some shit

Thanks for the info, was planning to snatch a ssd if they had it like last time :okay:
I'll probably end up getting the combo and giving it to one of my friends

Actually if someone can hook me up with the 2700K, I will trade a 2600K + cash for it or something. Because it is just a minor speed bump, Intel doesn't send samples, but it would be good for me to have. Please PM me if you can help out

Anyone know if there's much diff between a 2600k vs 2700k?

I'm a retail edge rockstar. I don't plan on jumping on the deal this time. If none of my RL friends want to take advantage of this i'll let one of you guys have it. (I'll update by the end of the weekend) Cheers :)

Sorry man. My friend has dibs, was thinking of giving him the 2600k and using the 2700k. But since there's not much diff I guess he gets the 2700k. Maybe next time around.

is it even worth to buy that board for extra $150? or i'm just better off buying a different board??

lol fml ~ i have to find 40 1000chips quiz to do if i want rockstar -.- i think i'll just settle for producer... the extra few bux is not worth my time

LIST OF ALL RETAILERS FOR INTEL

time to find a friend who works at one of them...

I could mail it to family and you can get it off them. Let me know if you can help! I'll start asking around, I think I know at least 1 or 2 people who work at LD. I assume you have to be in the computer department?

You can keep all the software and even the heatsink, I just need the CPU

so could a member buy 1 of each package?

ah didnt see lees msg
