I have a a board and Q6600 on the way and an e6600 in the bull pen
I will keep an eye out on some of the sites I am on for ya .... what's the budget ?
I grabbed the ASus Rampage Formula and Q 6600 for $ 190.00

Actually I think biostar is probably still really good. They just don't have a huge presence in the US market or the benching scene. There are some Taiwanese guys who pump out pretty good results on biostar hardware on AMD and Intel platforms. I guess benchers just go with what we are familiar with and is marketed the right way. Biostar doesn't spend alot of money on marketing.

Right. The p45 boards were well known but I just don't think biostar is on many peoples top 3 brands when thinking about sub zero. Their P555's and amd 890 boards seem to be pretty good though.

MD, that's the going price for a REX.
I picked up a tpower i45 last year and it was very easy to OC and fun to learn to solder on. Couldn't find a CPU worthy of it and let it go for a song.

I've got an E8600 and a Pentium 945 I want to freeze on it. Maybe even the Q9450?
