I have been spending the last six months collecting the parts for my next pc. I had stopped shopping around back in November as I had to start thinking about others' gifts and also I didn't want to spoil my own wishlist, so I had to wait to see if Santa was bringing me a proc and memory.
Got the RAM I wanted for xmas, so after the holidays I resumed the chase for an A64 deal....and stumbled into the opteron craze. I have a "hanging" order at buy.com for a 146, but I think I got into this a little too late - don't think that it's gonna pan out there or anywhere else.
So, I'm grabbing a 144 - Tankguys is sending it tomorrow....
Great buying experience, btw. Cancelled my order at mwave and went with them for $10 less (I think I literally bought the last one). They really seem to be on top of it with constant updates on their site and with the direct communication here about the stock situation.
Kudos, tankguys!
