x99s xpower fot $303 shipped good deal?

[Bajantechnician]

Is a x99s xpower a good deal for $303 shipped? Apparently it's missing one data cable and the oc "pen drive"

 

Thanks

There are very few X99 boards that are bad. Unless you need that board specifically due to some unique feature, it's a bad deal. You can get great brand new X99 boards for $200 or less.

 

edit: here is a great X99 board that includes USB 3.1 (not type-C), m.2, and every bell/whistle except integrated Wi-Fi (that's a $30 add-in card though) for $190, which is more than $100 less.

Like this board only lol. 

Is this board a good deal for 303 compared to its usual price? I need it for the coloring, and the looks it has

Do you need that board? I got an X99M-Gaming 5 and 32GB of DDR4 for $265... total. I paid $129 new for the motherboard... I'd say if you shop around you could find something cheaper that fits the same purpose.

Color isn't a unique feature to that board.

Well, doesn't really matter. It's money that's spent. Who cares. That board will work great.
