    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).
