€300+
Two MSI X58 boards were listed on Geizhals this morning.
The top of the range Eclipse board ends up priced just over €300. We like high-end hardware, and the board looks impressive, but €300 is still €300. The Platinum at €225 looks like a budget board in comparison, although it's still no bargain.
So, apart from new DDR3 memory and a pricey CPU, you'll have to cough up quite a bit for a new board, as well. The transition to Nehalem will be a costly one indeed, at least for early birds.
You can find the listings here and here.
