There has been quite a bit of controversy surrounding the Egg's and Tiger's prices on the EVGA reference board. The MSRP of the EVGA board is $259. Newegg and TigerDirect both had it up to $339 at one point. Shoppers started complaining, and each site has had it listed and de-listed several times.

MotherboardPro is a site I would consider shopping, as well as ClubIT.

Listing/de-listing is most likely due to selling out when they are in short supply. Newegg is known for adjusting prices based on scarcity. Same thing happened at first with the Q6600s. Newegg has the EVGA 780i board in stock again @ $299, same price as Asus P5NT-Deluxe.

The FTW from EVGA appears to be a nice board. I would look for the prices of reference boards to drop once it's released and the Striker II is readily available.
