Epox nForce2 8RDA/8RDA+ - from low $100's on up, still kickin'

[Cybordolphin]

So.... is GameVE shipping these out?? OR are they backordered too?
I went ahead and placed my order with them. Ate the tax on it.... but they are closer... and that should mean I will see it sooner.

I just put an order in a AICMicro. It went through so I hope that they have them in stock. I've been waiting weeks for someone to carry them.

Thanks for the heads up.

8RDA+ now available at mwave.com for $104
newegg has them too but for $132 you decide : )

Ordered from AICmicro today. Did it over the phone to make sure they had it in stock. Hope all goes well. They were suppose to email me tonight on the shipping details but no email as of yet.

I was going at order the Leadtek nforce2 board from Newegg but decided to call AIC on the EpoX. Glad I decided on the EpoX.

nowhere to be found on mwave, 28 left at newegg last time I checked (that and I'd trust newegg 1000000x more than mwave)

Thanks, AnImuS! I ordered just now and the site says "in-stock"

I hope their inventory system is real-time...I am going to be miffed if I get an OOS email. However, Mwave is a very reputable company and has been around a while. I bought a 440BX motherboard from them back in 1999 and was satisfied then. Can't believe it's been that long ago!

The search isn't working for 8RDA+. Maybe a bug? But you can find the board by browsing using the Product Catalog. It's there. The mwave product number is A19074.

I can assure you they do not have a real time inventory. I hope all goes well for you but the last time they had them "in-stock" they held my money for 5 days and sent an out of stock email stating that epox discontinued the 8rda+. Newegg all the way for me.

Cyberdolphin, sent an email right after i sent in my order,they replied the next day 1/08/03 stating that it was shipping that day,and that if i had any concerns/questions i should call there sales number etc.

So will let you know when i get it. basically like spideycu says,its a boxed retail item,so doubtful that they can mess it up,unless they send me the wrong board.

CensusPC is moving to a new host and upgrading their site for added functionality (I was told that they didn't like their old site as it was confusing, and that their host wasn't providing adequate services for their business)

At any rate, here's a phone number for CensusPC if you need to check status:

(909)468-9110

Peace

Just an update. AICMicro sent me the tracking # and according to UPS.cpm it is in transit. All is looking well.

I also put in an order through them and got it confirmed over the phone. And accordin to UPS its in transit as well. No complaints with this company so far.

I ordered 4 of these (8RDA+) from Mwave last night, placed order at 11 pm est, received email at noon today stating they had been shipped. Price was $104.50 each, shipping was about $15 for all four.

Same here for AICMicro. They sent the UPS tracking number the next day so everything is looking good so far.

There's still no such roundup yet, correct? I couldn't find one.

 

[Pothead]

I thought the round up has been up for a long time, no?

Another round of price updates on the first post. I really wish there weren't three threads going on concurrently regarding the same boards, but, whatever.

Thanks for the CencusPC info Atifo. Seems folks are also having good experiences with AICMicro - good stuff. I like NewEgg, but their price for the + board isn't competitive at all with other reputable vendors.

 

[Cybordolphin]

I ordered one from GameVE, as they are close. But they have not shipped and will not return my emails.
I ordered almost a week ago... :< Kinda p*sses me off, as I would have ordered from someone else, but they showed in stock when I ordered.

Anyone else having a problem with GameVE shipping these boards, or heard if they are really OOS or not on these?

 

[BuckNaked]

Ordered from Mwave on Friday, scheduled for delivery tomorrow (Monday).... No complaints from me....

Is the MSI K7N2 at mwave ($97.5) an equivalent or are there signif differences?

The epox is better. Just go read the roundup on the main page.

 

[SpideyCU]

That's annoying Cybordolphin. They shipped mine out the same day - but at least then I knew for sure they had it in stock (I called to verify). If they won't return e-mails, I suggest giving 'em a call to see what the deal is. I don't understand why companies haven't learned after all this time that if you tell a customer what the problem is with the order, they might not be upset, but if you don't tell them anything at all, they'll be upset no matter what.

 

[Cybordolphin]

Called them today. Sure enough they are out for at least a week. Cancelled order.

Reordered with AICMicro..... hopefully they will ship. They show in stock.

 

[Grizybaer]

is there any difference in 8rda and 8rda+ other than, 6 channel sound, firewire and network?? Also whats serial ata??
