I'm in California, and I want to get one of these....but I've heard that the CA warehouses don't give out cb0's.

Anyone out there who lives in CA and got a cb0?

 

[ghetto buck]

I live in arizona, anyone from az get a cb0??

Got my CPU's from the Dallas warehouse in under 48 hours. Both are have absolutely identical codes (great for my SMP plans...), and are week-20 cb0's.

As you can infer from another thread *cough* http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview.cfm?catid=40&threadid=194247 *cough* I didn't use the pointclick deal. However, I still think I got a good deal; for $217, it can only be a better deal!

RE: McGlen Micro - I personally know their director of customer service. I'm not about to try to use my friendship to extort favors for myself, much less Anandtech guys I barely know, but he assures me that the days of bad service are over (their bad reputation on places like resellerratings was why he was hired).

 

[kly1222]

Woohoo!!! Just placed my order (pointclick's back ) and called a cs rep and they said it'll be coming from Dallas. Oh....I'm from southern ca.

 

[VTBigBear]

[ghetto buck]

Well I just ordered mine, i'll let you know how it turns out. Thanks PerryTexan for what I hope to be a smokin deal.

 

[sickNtired]

Anyone here from Wisconsin that has ordered one of these P3 700's from Onvia? Just wondering which warehouse it came from and if you got a cB0 stepping processor.

Thanks.

 

[harsh]

I dont see Onvia on pointclicks site. Is this a regional thing. If so can I pay someone to get one for me.

 

[sickNtired]

Onvia is still with Pointclick. It's usually there in the mornings but is gone usually by late morning to afternoon. I think it is some type of daily limit thing that onvia has with pointclick.

Try again early tomorrow morning.

 

[sickNtired]

Just as a follow-up to my own post, I just called Onvia and they said that my processor will likely ship from the Carol Stream, IL warehouse. Anyone get one from this warehouse that was non-cB0?

Thanks.

 

[Cheapest]

Anybody tried this CPU with the MSI slocket adapter here yet? Is it work with the SHOPSS system with the AOpen AX6BC EZ Motherboard?
Running same speed as compatible with the CPU as SLOT 1 PIII 700?

 

[sickNtired]

Anyone have any responses to my posts regarding cpu's from IL?

 

[ogn]

For those interested, I'm in Southern CA. Mine shipped from a place in CA and it was cb0. Typing off it right now at 933.

 

[demenion]

Will my Abit BX6-2 support this chip? thanks

Well, After e-mailing customer service, I hooked up w/ a very cooperative Rep, who gave me the choice of full refund OR an exchange from whatever warehouse I picked. So I went for the PA warehouse, since so many got cBO's from there..

Thanks again to Perry Texan and to all who posted the warehouse info.

btw, My pep66 and Abit Slotket came today. A nice B_day surprise...

Remember, your Pointclick rebate check must be for more than $25 before they will issue it ...

 

[ghetto buck]

ogn,

Was your chip shipped from anaheim, ca? Or was anyone's shipped from here that has any info on the stepping (cb0?)

thanks

 

[ogn]

ghetto buck,

I think it shipped from Fullerton, CA.

 

[helloedchen]

anyone know if mcglen and onvia use the same warehouses? just curious...

 

[MoneyMINTR]

Just received my 2nd P3 700 cb0 from onvia. Again it came from the PA warehouse. Same batch.

wow

good deal.

[Coki]

Asus P3B-F or CUVBX.

Works great.

 

[kingink]

Thanks for the deal MoneyMINTR! I just ordered one and it looks like it went through. I wasn't able to use the pointclick because onvia doesn't show up on their site. I wish I had used for my Mobshop purchases as I would have saved another $25.00 bucks on stuff I would bought anyway.

I'll let you all know if I get an oc'able cb0.

I just got this email from PointClick after I inquired about a purchase I made and did not recieve any points.

What a bunch of crap! I followed the Onvia.com link from there site.
