I did visit the blog with the guys experience with the CPU upgrade... Nice reading:)
Maybe I should wait a few months, and see what I can get for around 1600$ including tax and shipping.
Presently I´m checking prices for my 3,1...
 
I usually check current prices in eBay by doing an advanced search and selecting completed listings only. That shows me actual prices with buyers vs just looking at what people are asking.
 
Only to those who know the difference apparently. You got a great price. Not going to use the word rape, but umm...nicely done.
Well, it depends. These machines is way overpriced in Scandinavia were I live.
I bought mine in december last year with 16GB RAM, Dual 2,8 CPU´s and HD4870....
I got it rather cheap from the german ebay - 2000$/1500€ including shipping.

I´ll sell the rig with dual 3,0 CPU´s, 32GB RAM, HD 4870, 2TB Seagate Barracud (Green), and my spare 180GB Intel 330 SSD.

Didn´t know you could do that - thanks.
 
I picked up a hot deal on a 4.1 quad for $699, plus they gave me $50 back because it was missing a stick of RAM. I didn't care because I had RAM I was going to put in there anyway. Just got it and it's working great. If you keep checking eBay and such, you'll likely find a good deal eventually. Flashed to 5.1 without issue too.

D´oh! Sometimes I wish I lived in the US - with my usual paycheck converted to $$ :D
