That's about right for them.... it's amazing how well they hold value.

Biostar doesn't spend alot of money on marketing.

many (xtreme) tried the tpower i45...when it came out...i was still doing air then..sad

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?
