939 PCI-E Boards

Does anywhere still stock these? Just been pricing an upgrade, as the only thing my current rig really needs is new graphics. They appear to be incredibly thin on the ground, none of the usual suspects appear to carry them any longer.

head to the for sale section and you'll be able to pick up a 2nd hand one for ~£40ish

You can still get the Asrock 939 boards in some places, at around 40 quid new.

Eclipse Computers - Product Details

for example.

Personally I'd rather take my chances on somewhere like eBay than Eclipse. To say their customer service is awful would be an understatement. I'm pretty sure there's thread on Hexus somewhere filled with people who have been treated appallingly by Eclipse.

Some people have no problems, some people a LOT!! I ordered from them a few years ago and I've never had as many problems with any other retailer in 15 years of building PCs. CPU pins were bent, CDRs simply didn't write and a case was broken (power button didn't work at all) which I suspected was an ex-display model despite paying for a brand new one.

I'd say give the classifieds a go or check out eBay.

It was just to give an example of someone selling that board, there are several others.

When I was having problems with my mobo I looked and amazon still stock a 939 board. Like this one: Amazon.co.uk: ECS K8 Motherboard NFORCE4-A939, chipset nForce4, PCI-E/DDR/SND/LAN/SATA. Support AMD Athlon 64/FX/Dual Core processors - Socket 939.: Electronics & Photo

I did think it would be best to ge a known good old board off ebay like this: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium Socket 939 Motherboard on eBay, also For AMD, Motherboards, Desktop PC Components, Computing (end time 05-Dec-07 21:27:06 GMT)

I found a current not yet sold listing on ebay: ASUS A8N-SLI Premium (0610839135059) Motherboard on eBay, also For AMD, Motherboards, Desktop PC Components, Computing (end time 20-Jan-08 21:45:00 GMT)

I'll be selling my DFI lanparty SLI-DR (with all the trimmings in original box etc) within the next month. See my system. I'll get a hexus price check first of course.

The new Asrock board is stocked for just over £50 at Novatech. And it's not an old one which is still hanging around, it was released just last december and got some good reviews.
