[hans007]

i finally got the "we were backorderd and sent you the wrong item" excuse after emailing them twice myself. this is awesome.

i didnt think i'd really care, but it actually does make me mad.

While everyone thinks this deal is outstanding, unless I get the PayPal bonus, I think maybe a few months from now it will be considered average.

Fry's had this same CPU (not sure if boxed version) and ECS motherboard with $199 this morning. While I did get a better namebrand motherboard, it cost $204 no tax and free shipping.

I didn't see any deal for this CPU with an ECS motherboard for $199 at Fry's. I did see a Q6600 with an ECS motherboard for $179 and this CPU with a much nicer motherboard at $399 though.

Pretty Freaking unbelievable thing just happened, CompUSA called me and offered me the processor for $139 with free shipping (my first order was intercepted). I?m stunned. He started off by saying they had a problem with shipping the wrong part, at which point I jumped in and corrected him? At any rate, looks like CompUSA is coming through?for me anyway. Can't believe it...but happy!

they offered me the cpu for their cost, which apparently was $183.


so i suppose they were going to lose a massive amount on this.

No call offering the cpu again for me.

Hans, how about you?

They called me Monday and offered me the deal with free shipping. Of course I accepted it
and it will be here tomorrow.
