Not exactly sure what the bargain is here. Anyone know?

It does have a rebate, but yeah, not exactly a deal.

$40 for a Mobo, it's cheap! Can't beat that price.

The board is so so but does the job.

I picked up the Gigabyte version of this for $40 (was really $50 but I utilized $10 discount for BillMeLater)... that was a solid board. I bought it for its powersaving features, I don't know how this Foxconn compares... but hey $40 for a modern motherboard isn't bad at all.

motherboard: Foxconn 740g $40
ram: 4GB Crucial 6400 (fry's) $20
cpu: BE-2x00 $30-40 (newegg)
video card: no need onboard
sound card: no need onboard
hard drive: Western Digital 640GB GP (newegg) $70
case: Antec NSK3480, 4480, 4480B, 6580 (wait for a $40 deal from Fry's)
psu: Earthwatts 380/430W comes with Antec case

That's a complete, extremely efficient, and reasonably powerful build for $170 with prices today (excluding the case/psu since you need to be patient for that).
