Yep Conroe prices are getting jacked up. I configured a nice pc from ibuypower.com yesterday which came out to $1300. I did it again today and now it's $1400... it blows but blame supply/demand.
If there were specials, they were on very low priced items like DVD drives. I didn't see any major parts like cpu or gpu that had special written next to them like other components did. I think they decided to bump up the prices on conroe systems overnight because of supply/demand.
