Been keeping an eye on prices as I'm going to build a new system when the highly anticipated April 22 price cuts take hold. Found the E6600, boxed, at ClubIT tonight for $299. The first time I've ever seen a 6600 for under $300 and below Newegg's $308 (which had been $305 a week or so ago, for a few days).

It is a "Special Promotion," but still, I'm hoping that this is the beginning of the downward slide in E6600 prices.
