I've been building a few systems for various ppl of late and have been building them around the MSI K7N2 Delta2 socket a series board Plat edition.

I have 2 systems left to do but got an e mail from supplier this morning saying the boards are out of stock and they anit gonna get any more in

Soooo I have components for 2 more systems arriving today minus their m/boards... Bugger eh.


Any one track these boards down for me.... I have looked at a few places but they all want stupid money for them, I was getting the pair for 70 squid delivered as a ball park figure.


Fingers crossed

Looks like Dabs have 7 in stock Dutcho.
Forget it theres only 1 and its used.

 

[Dutcho]

Forgot about Dabs... But the total is around 15 squid more than I was gonna pay Any cheaper or is Dabs my solution

Did you try the trusy ebuyer,or are they too dear?
I struggle to get on their site for some reason so I can't say whether they have any.

 

[Dutcho]

They are the ones that dropped me in it....lol Cooooots...

 

[Dutcho]

Did you try Scan they don't have them in stock but they don't say they're discontinued either like a lot of the others I've looked at.
Here's the link

 

[Dutcho]

Notice the lack of price as well... I have emailed them see what they say. Thanks

 

[BrianA]

Try overclockers too,heres the link but I get a script error when I click on the
"add to order" button

Gotta nip to ASDA to see if they got any bargain dvd recorders,I'll ask if they have any of these msi boards while I'm there.

[BrianA]

Not exactly what you have in mind Dutcho,but I actually found some rocking horse :SHYTE

 

[Dutcho]

Think I might have to switch to another board to stay in the budgets i've been given.

Any surgestions ?

What is/was the advantage of the platinum over the K7N2 DELTA-IL (MS-6729-IL)?

Similar: http://www.aria.co.uk/ProductInfoComm.asp?ID=19646 but they've only got 1 in, and if they did have 2 it'd send you over budget. The problem is AMD have discontinued Socket A processors.

Gigabyte have a good name, but you do tend to pay for the name and not the features. The GA-7N400S-L has similar features to the msi board (SoA, AGP x8, DDR400, 5.1 audio), but only has 2x USB2 ports, no gigabit ethernet and no AMD sempron support: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=87428

If push comes to shove theres a few on ebay at the mo': http://computers.search.ebay.co.uk/msi-k7n2

there are a few REAL bargins on http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/BGrade_Motherboards.html
including the Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe for £23.50, these are "B-Grade" mobo's, not sure about warranty.
