Might be a pricing error, not sure. But I can't get it because they dont ship these boards to NY :( definitely cheap though and worth trying even if it ends in a cancellation

Just ordered one. This is legit.

Also, I had a $20 Newegg Promo card, so I got it for $5. Free two-day shipping with ShopRunner. :D

Someone just pointed this out to me and I'm in for one as well.

Had $10 left in Newegg gift cards, got mine for $15 with free 2-day shipping with ShopRunner :)

Search for the Celeron D 310 instead. Then look at the combos on that page.

It is a broken bundle I assume but I stumbled across it yesterday and bought 5 to make sure it worked. They shipped out today so I assume all is well.

This is kind of an insane deal. Even if you only need MX Red Switches it is worth it to buy and desolder them for another board. I got one for myself and several more for other friends late Christmas presents. I'll be giving the CPUs away here for people that can actually use them.

You know what's interesting - I've never seen "SOLD OUT" on Newegg before.

Several other boards are also sold out but do not have the price removed.

Perhaps this model is discontinued?

The Brown version now says both Sold Out and Discontinued.

If it said refurbished then they are probably just giving u old Rosewills that ppl returned as defective.  Of which there is a constant, large supply.

My Rosewill started dying at less than 30 days old and is completely freaking out now.

But I need some $5.00 keycaps for conducting experiments so I would get some just for the caps.

NewEgg constantlys bombs my email address with ads.  I have been reading every one very carefully looking for cheap keycaps.  I never saw this ad in my mailbox.  Someone posted it to GH 5 mins after I went to bed so I missed it.

Only the CPU was listed as refurbished, the board was listed as new.

Personally, I got one to test out reds on a full board, and I plan on harvesting them for future builds. So quality of the PCB is irrelevant to me.

NewEgg does bombard in-boxes with all kinds of stupid deals, however I don't think this one was advertised, I'm thinking someone was just browsing the newegg combo deals and stumbled upon it.

Depends how much you shop on newegg. I do qutie a bit and the ads seem to get more 'tailored' to the type of stuff I have bought in the past. Though I do still get some of the generic ones for the 48hr sales on rice cookers and so on.
Really wish I would have seen this deal while it was still available. Defineatly could have done with such a good price on red switch for some projects.

Can anybody explain to me why so many people want to harvest switches? Sorry, new here, don't even own a mechanical keyboard yet but I have one on the way.

These boards have a spotty history of PCB failure, and there are plenty of custom keyboards PCBs that are soon to be sold (Phantom, GH60, Korean customs) that require you to buy switches from somewhere. Which is a bit tricky in that most places don't sell cherry switches, or if they do, they're $.80/each and not necessarily the switch color you want.

So getting a 104 switch board for $27 means you paid $.26 a switch and you got some free keycaps to destroy :P

I hate that I didn't see this in time. Hey if anybody bought these just to harvest the switches, I would be interested in some or all of the leftovers parts (case, board, plate, etc). Just hit me up and let me know what you want for it.
Title: Re: Rosewill9000 with Cherry Reds+ Processor $25
Post by: TotalChaos on Sat, 29 December 2012, 23:46:10
If anyone wants to sell me a couple of sets of Rosewill keycaps really cheap then I am always interested.  In fact I will probably continue to be interested until I have around 10 sets.  I need them for devious Keyboard Science experimentations (outlawed in 23 countries).  :p

So if u ever have any keycaps u want to sell, send me a msg.

I have no need of the switches, case, cables, or RED plate.

Scheduled For Early Delivery On:

Looks like I'll get mine tomorrow.

EDIT: newegg also ships things out from different places based on region... maybe this has to do with the timing as well.
I'm from the midwest, so mine came from TN, but per the slickdeals thread, people are getting confirmations from cali.

They actually cancelled your order?! I called customer service this morning to find out why mine hadn't shipped, and she sent an email to the warehouse to rt it out today. Just got a shipping notification a little while ago. I wonder if mine would have been cancelled had I not called.

Normally most of my orders from Newegg for these Rosewills come from TN, but this one is coming from CA. I bet their TN warehouse ran out of them.

It just pisses me off that I was one of the earlier orders, yet mine gets packed and shipped after others.

sheesh guys. Give newegg a break. They gave everyone a great deal over the holiday. It's expected there will be a few hiccups.
Now, I would probably be contacting newegg just the same to see if I can get a different rosewill keyboard or something.

However, there is no need to get so angry at them. I doubt it's personal.

It just pisses me off that I was one of the earlier orders, yet mine gets packed and shipped after others.

They had some problems with my paypal account address not matching, which is total BS. I talked with both parties over the phone but when I called newegg after they canceled they agreed to honor the price when they restock.

I'm not angry at them, just a bit worried about the status of my order especially since JesuswasaZombie had his order cancelled. Anyways, I contacted their Live Support and they said my order will ship out today and that I'll get a tracking number and if I don't hear anything by the end of the day tomorrow to just contact them again.

yeah last LaserShip guy i saw was a month back, i ordered something on amazon and some guy with a rusted up early 90's minivan (i think chevy astro) shows up at my door, he has a magnetic sign on the back of his van "LaserShip", normal van, windows, no tinted windows and no extra locks, you could see the back was filled with packages ready to be stolen, just smash the window take and run.

I think I read somewhere that you can underclock/undervolt them pretty low though. I think it's got enough IO pins to support switches and RGBLED's on (say) a custom model M flex PCB. Just need to find somenoe who knows how to write some i386 code for it :p

i finally got my board in and i have to say it is a pretty solid board, i was expecting a cheap crap board but other than the logo i actually like it

This is my first cherry MX board with a plate

i was going to originally harvest this board for springs and switches, but i actually found that to be unnecessary for now

i think instead i am going to de-solder most of the switches, lube them, put them back in and then put these KBC white pbt keys i have on it with o rings, should come out nicely, i can use it for gaming

gotta figure out how to cover the damn logo though......

delivered yesterday, picked it up today.  i have to say, i wasn't sure if i would like reds, but i think i do like them since they make it easier to just touch and go, whereas with browns you're more likely to bottom out since you have to push down a bit more if you want to be certain you actuate the switch.

But at that price, the switches alone are worth more than the cost of the board. Even if someone didn't want the board, they would probably desolder all the switches for other projects.

104 Cherry MX Reds for $25 is full of win.

well i use my redswitches for the gh60 and a poker (have to buy some more or combine some with the blues from my blackwidow)

basically the rosewill will get a bunch of different switches and end up as a test board for all kinds of switches.
