Newegg.ca: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3GHz Quad-Core Processor $199 w/ Combo Deals available (Hot!)
Forum poster ASharp has spotted a terrific deal at Newegg.ca, and those of you looking to build a powerful computer on a budget will surely want to take note. Right now, the AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor - Retail is $199.00. If you compare prices at PriceCanada.com, you'll see that other retailers have this processor for $260 or more!
This is a processor, that according to Guru3D.com, is very solid competition for the venerable Intel Core i7-920. The X4 945 may lag behind a slightly, but it does so at about two thirds of the price! On top of that, an appropriate motherboard for the AMD X4 can be had for significantly less than an X58 Intel motherboard.
It gets better! Newegg.ca has some generous combo offerings for the X4 945. We would only caution you that the Foxconn A76ML-K motherboard (the combo effectively gives you the motherboard for free) won't work with this processor! Besides that though, it's an amazing offer at $199! If you're looking for a more usable motherboard in the combo deals, we suggest the ASRock A780GMH/128M AM2+/AM3 AMD 780G Motherboard (the combo will cost $216.99).
There's no free shipping for this offer, but this is a smoking hot deal regardless. Just remember that Newegg.ca's handling fees are where they list Canadian taxes. The only extra fee involved is a $1 US charge to cover brokerage.

If you take this CPU and the Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0, you can make a pretty cheap whitebox ESXi 4.0 Server.
Notes for installing ESX(i):

Just pick up 4-8GB of DDR3 and you should be pretty set for getting a decent server running.
