MAN! I thought these wolfdales were coming out on the 20th!!!??? Wasn't even thinking about them. Next thing I know, they 're all sold out --by last evening. What?!? Now i am even more impatient about getting a hold of one. Funny.

Most of those different part numbers appear to be a result of typos ...

they aren't out yet. all the sites have already put them on there site to get some pre-orders in so they can guarantee to sell some when they come in. the ETA of these are the 20th-22th

Wrong..... Mine shipped Thursday from compsource. Lots of people already have them from other retailers too. Microcenter is selling them in store for $189.
