I ordered a e3110 and it's already on the way. Hopefully an empty box doesn't show up. I'll report back when it shows up.
When did you place the order? I did yesterday afternoon and my tracking from their site still says "in process".

Indeed Keep us updated.
Edit: So I did a little research on Moogr.com and was able to track down the owner in another forum. I didn't talk with him but I read a lot of posts regarding him setting up the site. (I will post further information on this later if there are any problems so that people can find him directly... since I am evil like that >
I am pretty sure that he uses drop shipping.
"Drop shipping is a supply chain management technique in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock, but instead transfers customer orders and shipment details to wholesalers, who then ship the goods directly to the customer. The retailers make their profit on the difference between the wholesale and retail price."
So judging from owner's posts, it sounds pretty legit. Plus they go through google checkout. I am not sure if that adds any protection but I would't go through google checkout if I had a scam company. The only thing is that there might be unexpected shipment delays since it is not their own stock but rather a wholesaler's that they do not have control over.
I called the phone number on the site and got a real janky message. It is professional in tone but sounds very rough like some dude's voice mail. In my past experiences however, I have ordered from a place where it was a voicemail message from an asian guy with horrible english and then the voicemail box was full. I was scared but I ended up getting my product very quick and as adverstised. Just food for thought.
Other random stuff I found....
Moogr is a very new site...As of 22 Feb the new site was up and running. There was an older version (old.moogr.com) you can check out. What is a head scratcher is that there are no product reviews for ANY product. If he is still building the site, that would help explain it a bit if the review system wasn't set up yet but I sent a note to the sales asking why.
Another thing that I find odd is that he posted to pay for bloggers. I would hope for advertising purposes but I am curious if these hired bloggers are to write fake reviews. I am still "researching" and will update if I find anything else.

It'll be interesting to hear back from people who ordered from this site.
Does anyone know if the X3350 will work in a new Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L mobo? Gigabyte's website lists the Q9450 as being supported, but the only Xeon processor on the list is the E3110.
Also, are there any comprehensive, reputable benchmarks online for the Q9450/X3350? I'm trying to figure out if the price delta between the X3350 and the E3110 is worth it for gaming.

FedEx reports that my package has reached the local depot (about twenty or so miles from my location). Delivery will take place tomorrow. I should be reporting back round 9pm EDT (I'll be out on evening shift, heh). Perhaps I'll take Apple pr0n-style unpacking photos...

I don't mind it with other stuff but having a $300+ dollar package sitting outside for anyone to grab kind of makes me angry. I have thought about testing them and saying that I didn't get the package to see what they do. Evil me.

I'm the trouble maker who owns Moogr.com
As others may have read, Moogr.com is Owned by Strasburg Technology Inc which was incorporated in 2006 in PA. We have primarily been an IT services company and are moving on to other projects of which Moogr.com is a rather large one.
I've been using computers for the past 20+ years, from running BBS's to running ERP systems for fortune 500 companies. I've always been an ambitious young chap (which my wife sometimes detests) and Moogr.com is my proud baby - figuratively and literally. The name is from my daughter when she was 2, barely 3 years old would always tell me to get off the "moogr" (stop working on the 'puter) and play with her. Its a dedication to her and i love it.
Ingenuity.net is a critical partner in our site and we love what they have enabled us to do. I would recommend them for any large scale e-commerce project any day of the week.
As for the products, we have relationships with multiple distributors, our own fulfillment facility as well as manufacture direct in some cases (and growing on a daily basis). IF a distributor drops the ball, we will work to correct it asap.
As for our reviews - i've said it before - it takes an honest mistake to get 10 bad reviews and a miracle to get one good review. We sold nearly 75 skus a day of the cpus for the past week across the board and as you can see we have only four recent reseller reviews.
Your feedback is appreciated and again, thanks for choosing us and i hope the mods don't mind me jumping into a thread about us. I tend to get to pro-active sometimes.
