Core i5 750 -- $159.99 at Micro Center

BOING

Damn - Newegg, eWiz, Tiger Direct, etc all have them for $209ish.

Considering the store near me charges half the sales tax (3.5%) and that there is no shipping, I'll have to keep myself occupied at lunch time to avoid buying one.

I can see why you would worry. That is a great deal, would be tough to pass up.

It appears the i5 launch was not as successful as they had originally hoped, I can see how many of them will be in pricing wars now. Interesting how Intel has gone from a single socket to three of them at the moment.
