The motherboard I want is out of stock... almost everywhere.  The places that I can find it have it marked up 50 to 75 dollars.  I am running into the same issue with the video card.  Anyone that has a 280X is charging 400 to 500 dollars for one, which is WAY above the MSRP.  Maybe the Christmas holiday killed the stock on these items.  There is even a 20 dollar markup on the 4670K right now.  UGH!
