I have seen an Intel Core i7 920 in a local shop for £25. I know that 1366 motherboards are pretty expensive (and X58 is hard to find) so is this a good price for this CPU? Should I pick it up, or is it not worth it? Anyones opintion would be appreciated, thanks :)

If it's new, as well as if you can actually find a board to go with it.

hmm.. yeah.. I guess you could. If you're prepared to get the motherboard and ram.

They're a pretty good chip (basically an i7 940 underclocked if my memory serves me correctly)

 

I have the 930 on my old PC and it's a decent CPU when overclocked to about 3.3Ghz

It's definitely not new and there is no way of telling how badly used it is. Do you think it's worth the risk, or should I just forget it?
