A better than average deal with the free shipping.
Buy.com has the K7 chips for a decent price...not the cheapest, but when you factor in free shipping, the $30 off $150 coupon, and the fact that it is a retail boxed chip with heatsink/fan and a 3 year warranty, it becomes a really good deal. For example, the TBird goes for $174.95-$30 coupon + $0 shipping + $0 Heatsink/Fan = $144.95.
At the lowest place on pricewatch.com (you have to call them to get the lowest price), the TBird 850 goes for $148 + $13 shipping + $15 Heatsink/Fan = $176. And it's an OEM chip with a 30 day warranty.
Also, if you're not into overclocking and care more about stability, Buy.com also has a Tyan Trinity KT motherboard for $114 - $20 coupon + $0 shipping = $94. Cheapest place on pricewatch is $112 + $10 shipping = $122...that's about $30 more.
