I'm pretty sure everyone is going to tell you newegg is the best place to buy that board from.
Wow, what's next?

Newegg has them for $116.00 + Free shipping. While they don't specify the revision, the only ones I have heard coming from them were rev. 2.0's. As a matter of fact I got mine from here in April and it was a rev. 2.0. We are all extremely familiar with their service and customers satisfaction.
I still prefer Newegg since I am familiar with them and have always been happy in the end. Welcome back to the side of power and might! I also noticed you added Abit to your "Epox Rocks" and had a feeling you would come back to the dark side.
If those are the best prices I would get it from Newegg cause you know their customer service is awesome.

Depends... my preference is for a local place because I'm an impatient person and I want my stuff RIGHT NOW!
However, I believe ATACOM (www.atacom.com) has the best price on it- $104 for a guaranteed Rev. 2.0 -S. I bought one from them a few weeks back and drove up to their store to pick it up. They opened it up and showed me the board so I could see it was a rev. 2 before I bought it, and they have a good rating on www.resellerratings.com , so I'd probably go with them.

primesuspect said WHAT?!?! OMEGA IS BUYING A NON-EPOX BOARD?

Corsair Memory???
I think Omega is just getting wiser with age and is keeping himself open to all options.

So maybe he should get a REAL board instead of this ABIT crap- like oh, I dunno... maybe an ASUS

Thanks MTGoat! - That's exactly why I asked.
I've had Abit Rocks also in my sig because while I Promote Epox I also have been using Abit boards.
For most of this year I've owned a KD7-R and a KD7-E (Both sold recently)
I still might be onery and get the Epox 8RDA3+!
(Actually resale considerations are pushing me towards the NF7-S v2 )
Asus hasn't garnered the affectionate nicknames "Assus" and "Asux" for no reason!

Welcome to the dark side! Here, our motherboards don't die spontaneously in 4 months for an irreprehensibly large population, they have good memory bandwidth, and they overclock better!
I got mine from excaliberPC. Their shipping is slow as **** (5+ days), but I got what they guaranteed.
i recommend newegg or excaliber, all things ive purchased from both have come without defect, although newegg has sent me the wrong item before, either or both are excellent vendors
GoogleGear has an Open Box NF7-S (don't know if it's a v2.0 or not, it does say FSB 400 but then in the descirption it omits 400 so I'm not positive it's v2.0) for $101.50 and that includes shipping. It's open box though, so . . .

Excaliberpc has them for $111.00 + $5.00 shipping. They do specify that they are shipping rev.2.0's and offer a preflashed bios. A lot of people have been happy with dealing with them.
Monarch Computer Systems has them for $119.00 + Free shipping. Monarch specifies rev. 2.0 also. I have heard good things from people who have dealt with them also.

Anyway, just figured I'd point it out.

In fact, with the right parts and a little luck, some people have gotten up to DDR500.
the NF7-S 2.0 is ultra 400 anyways.
