Can't find a bloody 8RDA+ anywhere reputable

[KiltedFool]

For the longest time I was going to get the Asus nForce board that's the absolute best for the cheapo buyer, then an unexpected check came my way and I'm going larger.

I have had good experience with Epox and the 8RDA+ is the Editor's choice gold, so I want one. If I understand correctly, stepping down to the plain 8RDA drops my on board sound a ton, and the sound's one of the selling points to me.

So, anyone know anyplace reputable that has the + in stock? I want to order one today along with a retail CPU so I can have my new rig running by the weekend of the 10th.

Newegg's out until the 5th, TCWO's out til mid month, only ones I see that seem to maybe have it is GameVE, and they don't have stellar ratings.

Help me out folks, got a windfall and just snagged a Ti4600 for $219, now I want to be within a year of the bleeding edge for once. Damn board's OOS most places.

try essential computers.. NewEgg was out of the A7N8X, ordered from Essencompu and they had it to me in 2 days with NewEgg-esque service (cheaper too).

when these Nforce2 Boards are instock, you have to jump on 'em fast. They haven't been staying long at any retailers.

try censuspc.com. according to the hot deals thread on this motherboard, they're an official epox reseller.

Well as of this morning, AIC Micro was the only vendor referenced in SpideyCUs thread that listed it in stock.

Ordered at 9 am EST and called back later when their phones were open, they're now claiming shipment delayed and I'm raising hell to have them upgrade my shipping.

I'll have one of these boards in my grubby paws this weekend or someone's resellerrating will take it in the shorts for misleading stock listings on their website.

I know everyone loves the epox, I had one and it crashed on me and never rebooted. Know I have the Asus Nforce 2 Dlx, and it is great, I am running the same system config as the epox and it is very fast, it cost me 153 but I truly think it was worth it, in future upgrades the asus is a winner.
