The Arcticooler CB and CC models are in prototype stage right now, and will begin volume production next month.

Arcticooler Press Release



<< Production prototypes of the ArctiCooler models CB and CC are expected to be available in September 2000, with volume production by October 2000. The model CB will be priced at $10.50, and the model CC at $7.80, both in 100,000 unit volumes. >>



Pretty damn cheap.

But we want the CA for FC-PGA CPUs. These were already supposed to be in production. I contacted Newark Electronics, one of HP/Agilent's main resellers, and they told me they are on backorder. Pricing I have seen for the CA (Pt.# HACA-0001) has been from $28-34, nowhere near as low as the CB or CC models. Also, there is a minimum order quantity of 300 at some places I checked out. :frown:

Nah... we can't buy 100,000 of them anyway.

Also, ArctiCooler and Arctic Circle should be the same thing, the Circle was also designed by the company I think. And HardOCP called the Arctic Circle an older version of the ArctiCooler.

No no no ... the Artic Cooler is NOT the same as the Artic Circle. Yes, they are both made by HP/Agilent though.

Every supplier Agilent referred me to is backordered on these things, most companies until Jan.1 or later.

But I did find one source and I am placing an order (they have a min. quantity). Pricing to me is approx. $29 ea. + tax + shipping, won't know total till I get the bill. They do not give a price break for quantities, but it would cut down the shipping cost per piece. If we can get a large enough order together, I'd be willing to do it for a very small profit per unit (say, $1) plus actual shipping costs. And don't think about screwing me over on a deal - I will just sick my uncle from Youngstown (OH) on you ... well, as soon as he gets out of the 'Pen. :Q :Q

Respond in this thread if you want one - I will check back in approx. 5-6 hours and then place my order (note: I already have a few on order, but was told I can add to the order up until 6pm PST).

Hmm... if the price + shipping + tax to you is under $40, put me down for 1. Add in the dollar plus your shipping to me, (i'm guessing 1 + 3.60 for Priority mail) and I'm in.

You're in MW2.

I'm guessing my actual cost per unit will be = ~$29 + $1.80 tax + ($6+$4)/&quot;x&quot; units for shipping and handling (they charge a handling fee, plus $4 UPS Ground). I've definitely got four on order, plus as noted, will add to the order if more people want them.

I will email you later this evening, tomorrow morning at latest, to let you know exactly where we stand on the order.
