@thebluebumblebee - You can't get a good deal on those suckers, at least not that I've seen. There are some on ebay but at thousands of dollars per cpu. Now they're also apparently on Newegg but at list.
The nice thing about the v4's is that there are always stacks of engineering and qc samples to be had and they sell for a fraction of list. Sometimes you get a chip that runs a little hot like what happened to me with the 2697 v3's. One runs about 15C hotter than the other. But as a rule, if you buy from a reputable vendor, they work just like production models.
