Neat, I hadn't heard of PCpartPicker before. The Xeon 2670 you listed for $90 goes for >$1500 on NewEgg; that is quite a retail / eBay price split! Any idea why

- brynx97 10y agoI found there was a lack of supply at traditional online parts retailers for Xeon brands (consumer v enterprise processors). I picked up a Xeon 2620v3 last year at Microcenter for under $300 b/c of a sale. Also, the 2670 is older, I'd presume he picked it up second hand at that price.
