You can grab a 3000+ 512KB L2 Cache socket 939 for around $170.  Check newegg, mwave, excaliberpc, etc. for prices.

actually 70 bucks more but it might be worth it. How much power would I be losing if I were to downgrade to the 754 pins witha 3400+ it would be much cheaper because the shuttle 754 system is also much cheaper

There isn't a 3400+ for socket 939, only for socket 754 at the moment.

You can grab a 3200+ 939 for $225 and easily overclock it to 3500+ speeds.  Those winchesters chips OC like champs.  It is only a difference of 200mhz anyways.  Plus you would be saving $124 compared to the 3500+ 939 for $359.

IMO, save cash and grab the 3000+ or 3200+ and overclock it.

The Shuttle barebones are decent for OCing.  200mhz is easily obtainable.

There is a 3400 939, it runs at 2.2Ghz just like the 3500. I got it from Newegg in the OEM section. I have it and it runs great. Cost $200 compared to 3500-939 2.2 $279. Same thing.

Definitely get 939, the dual core CPU's coming out (FX-57,Q3-05) will require only a Bios flash to operate and work with all 939 chipsets. The DFI NForce4 ultra or SLI are the boards to have at the moment.

EDIT:DFI Nforce4 Specs and Benches

considering there are rumors that amd may unveil a new socket for the dual cores.. i wouldent take that info on the 939 to heart.. s754 chips are cheaper and faster.. a s754 3000+ is 2.0ghz and $146 retail... a s939 3000+ is 1.8ghz and $190 retail.. i went with 754 because i was very tight on $$$.. and i easily get 2.2GHZ out of this chip.. which is the stock speed of a s939 3500+..

Well I guess Ill have to bite the bullet because the case that I like only comes with a 939 board. Ill buy that and either a 3200+ or a 3500+ depending on how much cash I end up with.

holy shit newegg charges tax now, this is a rediculous. 10 bucks shipping but 80 bucks tax. I thought I was going to build the pc for 880 but now it's fucking 960. Looks like Ill be ordering the shuttle there as zipzoomfly is out, but everything else over at zipzoomfly.

zipzoomfly used to be googlegear.com

Go to www.resellerratings.com to check previous customer's feedback for any particular website reseller.  

Others online websites I purchase from are:
excaliberpc.com
svc.com
mwave.com
gameve.com
