Thank you very much for the link & the info Armoth

The site now says that there is difficulty logging in a new account and to try back later. I hope then I can get to the quiz. I saw this thread when there were only a few posts but I had a family medical emergency and haven't been online in 36-48hrs.

I just wish I could find a decent case for under 60. Seems like all the HTPC cases are over 120.

I don't think that this motherboard will fit any HTPC Case out there. Are they not all Micro ATX Form Factor?

No, no they are not. There are actually quite a few HTPC cases that will accomodate a full size ATX mobo. Check this place out for more info: HTPCnews

I can't wait to get my stuff. TigerDirect and/or UPS better not screw up.

Thanks, I haven't come across this site. So far the only thing that remotely interest my is Antec's overture.

Hey, I got in on this deal, gave my credit card info, etc etc and then was re-directed to some other web site that basically said "thank you for your order" then gave me an order number. Where does one go to check this order number?

Regards

It's through TigerDirect, so this works:
https://www.tigerdirect.com/cgisec/orderTrack.asp

You can't actually get a tracking number from that page if it has shipped, however (only order status).

 

[SixFootDuo]

Koron,

Many thanks, I just checked and it seems its in the process now of shipping. Was told 7 to 10 days.

Very excited about the deal.

I know you get Farcry, which I have. And the AMD 64 3200+ chip. Do you also get a T-shirt? And what model is the Asus board ?

Thanks again.

 

[Koron]

The mobo is a Asus K8V SE Deluxe. You get a t-shirt with a big "Athlon 64" logo on it from what I can tell from seeing all of the idiots looking to make a quick buck on eBay.

Mine is still on drop shipping, but remaining hopeful. ;-)

 

[sapiens74]

mine is on drop shipping too holding out some hope

 

[DJFuji]

edit: NM i'm dyslexic....i thought it said ABIT motherboard...

On that note, there are very few reviews on this board it seems...i dont recall anandtech even covering it. Any opinions on this board? Only real review i could find was at pimprig.com...

How come you can only find the 1GB L2 cache version available anywhere at retail?


Is this CPU equivalent to a 2.4GHz P4?


Thanks

Bringing more money than I expected. My combo is still going in my rig =D. Not sure how much performance increase there will be over my XP-M @ 2.42ghz though.

 

[pxc]

stupid ebayers.

 

[thawolfman]

Well sweet mine shipped!

 

[Maverick]

people that order multiples for ebay are the ones that sour the deal.

Watch AMD won't even offer a deal like this for the legit customers after this fiasco. Way to go greedy morons.

Just out of curiosity, is the number your order ends with closer to 1000 or 2000? Wondering because mine is just barely over 2000 and I'm wanting to guesstimate how long before it ships. FWIW, I ordered about 11:45 PM PST on 7/8

I think all these orders will be filled. I called TigerDirect since I couldn't track my order online for some strange reason and was told mine should arrive on Tuesday. BFG 6800GT, AMD64 3200+, Asus MB, and FarCry all for $500 shipped! Thanks Hot Deals!
