I found this little ditty on good ol' Pricewatch and Im leaning towards buying it.
Problem is..When you click on the link....

I cant tell if the processor comes with it.

On Pricewatch..it says "motherboard cpu combos"...it appears to come with a 2.6 P4...but the actual link says..."supports"...not "included"

Am I reading this wrong?

I didn't see the price. But, 5400 RPM? That's totally yesterday. For only about 6 times more you can get http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=711488 :)

Yes. I COULD do that..but 300 gig is a little too much..and 300 dollars is nearly what Im gonna spend on the whole sytem....

Wich is why I need to know if this damn board comes with the processor.

I think it does.

Careful. You may look at them as good deals now, but later on you may regret it.

Always true with computer equipment.
Although the board..(provided it actually DOES come with the CPU) is a good deal, and I wont have to upgrade it for a long time...(two years if im lucky)

and the 120 gig Hard drive should be plenty for now. (Ive got a couple of smaller ones I can always use If I have to)

this is going to be my first real system that Ive built myself, for myself..as opposed to building them for other people....so..Ive been doing a lot of searching around at shows and stuff.
