**Backordered** Sempron 2500+ with Motherboard, Combo $74.99 plus shipping at outpost

[lagvoid]

Spoke with an outpost rep, he said that the motherboard is backordered. Apparently there are plenty of 2500+ semprons, just the motherboards have not arrived (was supposed to come in back in december!).

edit: forgot to mention the rep doesn't have any expected dates for when the mobos will arrive.

I have been backordered on a CPU combo before. The item came in after about a month.

stopped by my local fry's a few days ago and got it. it's been running smoothly. the motherboard that came with it was ECS KT600-A, so nothing fancy. running @ 2100mhz and cpu temp hasn't hit 40 yet on stock fan.

I ordered and received a "backordered" status, called to cancel and asked or an equivelant deal and was told there was a sempron 2400 with a kt600 motherboard for 74.00, gave me free shipping for my trouble, said they had 170+ of those combo's in stock.

Here is a link to the deal!!

Ordered mine on Friday 12-31-04 @ 5:15pm, should be here tomorrow the 5th.

Total shipped was $77.54 for me. Guess I was one of the last ones to get in under the backorder.

Called back and the rep said this wasn't showing up as an option for substitution. I requested to speak with his supervisor and was told he would call me back...

 

[Steven the Leech]

It wasnt really a substitution i just asked to cancel the backordered product and asked if the had an equivelant eal that i could order and on ethat was in stock.

They will pick up the return shipping. Have a receipt of the return shipping and send them a copy.

I was told just the opposite by a CSR. She pointed me to the Outlook return policy on their web page:

A RETURN AUTHORIZATION NUMBER (RA#) must be obtained from our customer service staff and is required for ALL returns. Merchandise must be returned within 15 days of the issuance of the RA# at which time the RA# expires. RA#'s are non-renewable. Return shipping charges are the sole responsibility of the customer.

I wish they did pick up the return shipping, I need to return either this combo or the AMD A64 2800+ CPU/Mobo Combo that I bought a couple days ago for $169. Still not sure which one to return though...

this is also the sub I got. I was a little disapointed having to step down in the processor, but they gave me the KT600 mobo instead of the K7VTA3. Still good enough for my mom, so I didnt complain.

You can probably sell the combo in FS/FT or ebay and make a few bucks.

I figured for $74, I'd go ahead and spring for it. Added the Kingson 3200 HyperX memory and the thing was here the next afternoon. I've never seen something get here so fast (overnight was $4 more than the std shipping)

So my question is: If the CPU are boxed retails and they're just matching the Boards with the CPU's, how come they can sell the 2400+ with a board and not the 2500+ (other than making a few buckos off the difference).

these are socket 462 sempys and the mobo is finicky about ram and fsb

i am running at 170mhz using kingston value ram pc2700 /333mhz

My Combo finally shipped today (21st).
Price went up TOO!
The price went up.
Says Limit 1 so they probably wouldn't let me order another at the new price anyway.

Shows they're available again.

$74.99
