yes, this --is-- off_topic,
   but i --am-- going to install freebsd on them,
   so please don't flame me too badly.
i've spent yesterday and today seeking a usa vendor of intel mobos.
i'm buying parts for 12 systems, using the 865g, 915g and 945g chipsets and
   a mix of appropriate p4 and cd in the lga775 package.
my frustration is that the major online retailers have a distinct
   "latest, greatest and most expensive" mindset,
   i guess because their target market only buys one machine at a time.
specifically, i seek the boxd865gsal and boxd915gavl, four of each.
i haven't identified the 945 yet, but i find lots of those, so far,
   so i'm not worried.
i --did-- find one vendor, "ncix",
   that claims it will special order these [ two weeks ],
   but i've never heard of them [ that doesn't mean they're bad, of course ].
intel's website considers these to be current product.
anyone in the reselling game on this list ?
anyone care to recommend a vendor with whom they have had good fortune ?
anyone have access to intel's distributors ?
i send this as a shot in the dark.
thanks in advance.
