So here in Norway, we have this webshop called http://proshop.no. And they usually have pretty good prices, but this time it was just crazy. They had this AsRock FATAL1TY Z87 KILLER mobo for sale for just NOK 387,- (about $64). The price now is NOK 1150,- ($190). It's a great mobo it was obviously worth it, but do u guys have any clue why it was so cheap? It didn't even have a sale or rebate label x) The guy who added it to the website was high I guess? It is NOT second hand, and it is fully working. (sorry if english is crappy)

Great sale I suppose? ASRock isn't particularly a name brand... but besides that...

 I got a pretty similar deal on a z68 fatal1ty, the only problem was one of the pci slots was not working. Other than that it is a pretty good board, specially for overclocking.

The whole Fatal1ty line got DErP written all over it. Quality wise, i'm not to point fingers.

Pricing errors can happen, a lot of the time a business will fulfill them to keep you happy. After all- you're likely to shop again now!

 

 

Speaking of crazy cheap- I just bought a 3770K for £94!
