The CM 690 II Advanced would actually be quite good too

But its quite expensive for a case of that quality

oily_17 · Jan 10, 2010

Very nice upgrade, congrats.

I see it is pre-order, did they tell you when it would be in stock, the wait would absolutely kill me

Considering the options & forward thinking this case employs, I'd say the price is fairly reasonable.
It's still very new though, so the price would be a tad on the high side

The thread reads "Krikey" when the spelling is crikey.
It's an Aussie slang word..

One might say it's a, dare I say it, dead word?

EDIT: sorry.. couldn't resist..

Wow how tasteless....

Question: Whats the opposite of Christopher Reeves?

Answer: Christopher Walken.

Black Panther · Jan 10, 2010

Lol I didn't know 'crikey' was an aussie slang word, I don't know where I heard it from but I assume it has the same meaning as 'yikes'?

Oily_17 yes the wait will be killing me. I posted on their forum asking about ETA... so far no reply from staff. Tomorrow I think I'll send them a webnote asking them. I presume I'll be waiting for a month or so... who knows? Whenever I checked these past months they were always on pre-order. Occasionally for some brands stock would go to like 10+ and within an hour back to zero!
It depends on how lucky I am, for example if they ordered 100 and my pre-order is number 101 lol I'd end up having to wait even more!

I can't understand how come the 5 series cards are in such a shortage since there is demand. Are ATI's employees on strike or what? It's in ATI's interest to sell as many as they can before Nvidia's launch, since inevitably that would force them to reduce the price to be competitive.

Unless.... Fermi is going to be so expensive that ATI is just waiting for it to be released so as to increase the price of the 5970 to be slightly less that of Nvidia! :eek:

I can't imagine the difference I'd be seeing when I compare the 5970 with my 8800GT... I must remember to run some benchies for comparison with the 8800GT before I remove it from my rig...

Yah, I saw your tiny print answer the first time. The correct answer should be alive, or straight, or even cool.

I ask you, what self respecting male rides dressage? Isn't that a "sport" for pre-metapauseal women who want to enjoy a magnificent beast between their legs?

But enough thread jacking

Black Panther · Jan 11, 2010

Meh, I'm thinking about cancelling the order... I dunno. I can't find it from anywhere else either!

Dear BP,

Thank you for your webnote

Unfortunatly we are unable to offer any ETA on this item.

Regards,

Heck I asked them even for a very approximate ETA... whether it was like 1 week, 1 month or 3 months and that was the reply I get?!?

MRCL · Jan 11, 2010

Cheer up. I had an ETA of my 5850 of february, and its already here. You'll get your card

MRCL where did you buy your card from? Linky please linky!

Well, at least you had an ETA. I got none lol.

I won't be cancelling my order.
Well I might, if I find one available and not more expensive than OcUK's. Hmm which is very remote.
I hate Newegg for not shipping to Malta! :mad:

I'd have saved a good couple of bucks if they did.

www.pcp.ch but its a Swiss shop

And I don't even know if they ship internationally. Or digitec.ch, they even have their site in english lol.

oily_17 · Jan 11, 2010

I think that is their standard response.So dont worry to much.

I have asked about ETA a few times with them and that is always the reply...

Ah lucky you swiss they have it in den warenkorb, in stock!

And it's so much cheaper. I converted the swiss sapphire 5970 currency and it's £482 whereas that of OcUK is £540

(both shipping excluded)

:banghead:

£40 shipping, damn thos ocuk mofo's though I thought the 5890 was more than £460, hmmmm I could maybe, wait no wtf lol no, no, no!!! I have just upgraded, I dont need one hehehe

That is actually a good price for about 5-6 kilos of gear + the insurance has to atleast match the items sold.

Its how much the post office charges also.

The more expensive the item the better the shipping price is from E-shops.

Also BP, your nuts!

:laugh:

Keep in mind that PCP is one of the more expensive shops. :rolleyes:

I don't know how its handled with importing into an EU country, but if I order something from an Eu country and let it ship here, the customs want a big slice of the pie, too, damn suckers:shadedshu

Yeah, Switzerland's not in the EU....

My wild guess is that they do ship abroad though. I just sent them a webnote, and they had a specific webnote title "International Buyers/Payment".
The site is a tad hard to understand, I don't know any german at all but I know all the names of pc hardware in german....

Well, I'll see what shipping price they quote and whether they'd be ready to mark the box as a 'gift'

in which case I'll just get only the PSU from OcUK...

DirectorC · Jan 11, 2010

It's like with cheap car parts from Mexico, nobody ships to the US because it'd cost like $200 for tail lights LOL.

Black Panther · Jan 11, 2010

Well they just replied that they only deliver to Switzerland. So forget it. :ohwell:

merp.

Black Panther · Jan 11, 2010

Answer to another webnote to OcUK

The Sapphire cards are the best choice as these are expected first.

And yeah I sent him yet another webnote pressuring for an ETA date...
I do get in a panic and give hell to people when I'm waiting for stuff. Prolly everyone here knows that...

pantherx12 · Jan 11, 2010

I hate OCUK lol

About as helpful as gloves made of stone when your supposed to be performing surgery!
