FYI: We will have them, @ ~367.00 but not until mid/late August. We are absolutely first in line at 4 warehouses for one of the major distributors. Shipping will run anywhere between $10 and $15 depending on where you live.

We aren't taking pre-orders yet, but they will likely be available Monday or Tuesday for pre-order. However, keep in mind it will be simliar to our 4400+ pre-order in that other companies will (obviously) be getting them before us, and we can only get them out as fast as our distributor gets them to us... but as I say, right now we're looking at mid/late August.

Hey, I appreciate the support guys :)

I just wish we could have gotten our 4400+'s out quicker, that was nuts. At least we're filling orders at this point! I'm really keeping my fingers crossed on these 3800's too. I jumped on them as soon as they showed up in the distibutor's system. We're the first order, and we've got an order for 12 each at 4 of thier warehouses. I'd have done more, but our credit line is still stretched thin with outstanding 4400+ orders. That's the one downside to our not charging until shipment, is that we have to finance the purchases up front, so we can't support a major rush in demand.

Years ago, MWave was my supplier of choise for all hardware. Then they bought an Arizona company - that made them located in Arizona, and from then on they insisted on charging me sales tax since I am in Arizona. So, they are now a non-starter. My favorite right now is Zip-Zoom-Fly.

Why are the 3800's so expensive when AMD announces it to be a sub $350?

Well, just an FYI, my cost on the processors is over $350 to start with. Also consider that credit card charges run 2.5%-3.5% depending on card type, so that adds another 10$ or so to our up front cost. This is why they sell for over $350 right now :)

Just an FYI, we now have them listed on our site and are taking pre-orders. The price is $379.08, and we expect them to ship around August 28th. We'll be a bit behind the big guys again with these, but our prices are also better. You can check it out here:

When will you guys start shipping to us poor guys in the UK? :p

Ill be checking out America again when I upgrade next in 6+ months. Due to the weak USD against the GBP, even with VAT we can wangle some neat deals.
