        "There is about a 1% chance that we'll actually ship these on the 7th.
        (The E6600/E6700's I mean). None of the distributors have them yet.
        It's a mess. I'm working my best still to get these darn things, but my
        word, Intel and the distributors just can't get this sorted out. ...
        From Tankguy's Ben"
        However, you can still get E6300 now, if you don't mind the 25% mark-up
        ... it only ends up being $229 on http://mwave.com ... down from a 35% mark-up
        from two days ago.
        \_ Sucks.  But Fry's is supposeadly getting them on Monday 8/7.  We
           shall see.
           \_ BTW, http://outpost.com shows OEM E6300 as "In Stock", shipping 8/7,
              for $20 less than http://mwave.com.  All other types are not listed or
              Pre-Order.
           \_ I like Fry's.  -proud American

8/5     Why is Mac OS 10.6 $29 and 10.5.6 $129? Is it a typo?

12/4    A question to you old crufy alumni: So lately we've suggested
        VMs, and been asked why it's necessary. We've suggested top-of-the-line
        hardware and been told we don't need that much power. So I'd like to
        ask -- what exactly do you think the CSUA is supposed to _be_?

12/3    Are any of you CSUA alums working at Intel?  Is it possible that we
        might be able to hit Intel up for donated/partially donated (reduced
        price) Core i7 Xeons when they come out?  Who would be a good person
        to contact about something like that?  We're of course willing to put
        out for them - perhaps we'll tattoo an Intel logo on toulouse if that's
        what they want :-p  -- steven

Otherwise you'll pay the cancellation fee plus a higher price at other outlets. ard|Gawd GoldenTiger is offline Quote: Originally Posted by jebo_4jc Yea that's why I plan on keeping my PO with them. Yep, TankGuys is a great merchant and has excellent customer service. I had a small issue with an order that I had made before pre-ordering my E6600 from them, and it was resolved professionally, courteously, and to my satisfaction in a quick and efficient manner. Even if they get them in later than others (which I somehow doubt it will be much later than others if much at all), I am still going to keep my pre-order with them.
