Quick: Which store for NF7-S?

[Gerbil333]

I've been a Newegg-only shopper for quite a while. I'm about to order an Abit NF7-S 2.0. This thread is keeping me from buying it there this time though.

I think I'm going to go with exCaliber.com. 9.68 rating on resellerratings.com, gauranteed rev 2.0, and pre-flashed to the latest BIOS. Googlegear's return rating seems too low. Where should I order it? exCaliber, another store, or stick with Newegg?

I was going to go with them until I read the very first review on resellerratings. The guy had a bad experience with an Abit motherboard from there, which is what I'm gonna get. Plus, eXcaliber flashes their NF7-S's, meaning there's less of a chance of the board being DOA because they test the boards.

i'm thinking of ordering this board for a friend at excaliberpc.com...they are offering BIOS survival kit for a few dollars more...is this a good purchase to make...also they have again for a few dollars more a northbridge chipset fan...is one already on the motherboard or do u think i should be purchase this as well....

I've had my NF7-S for several weeks now. I bought it from exCaliber as planned, and it's been running GREAT! I haven't had a single problem with it. They did great -- on par with Newegg. It appeared brand new. I couldn't even tell they tested it, except that the anti-static bag was not sealed. I highly recommend exCaliber!

That's the same northbridge fan. Lemme quote their site: "Category-5: $2 off backup northbridge chipset fan:". Identical. You shouldn't need it.
