[DeMeo]

HAs anyone seen cases for these? Anyone used them?

Tampa is not that far from Orlando. I know some people driving up from Miami.

Any one else going to the Atlanta show? Want to meet some where?

Hmm.. I doubt either A8N-E and K8SD is BTX. A8N-E is ATX, and K8SD is extended ATX (for server). If you've seen BTX, it's totally different.

I wonder if local manufacture could tag along. I could sell bunch of cases, 1U, 2U, server, tower, low profile, and even BTX from In Win. Hell, maybe I should make a bundle of business cards.
That's the advantage for working in the RMA department.

If the Tampa date or the Dallas date was a bit later, I could've gone....

Another sad day in the forums....

Not one person able to post a simple real picture of the bundles.....Its a truly sad day once again....

 

[DeMeo]

I googled the motherboard and found somewhere that said it was BTX.
I'll have to double check that I guess.

This is from the specs on the Tyan website:

Form Factor
? Extended ATX footprint
(13" x 12", 304.8x330.2mm)
? EPS12V/ATX12V universal power connectors

Are those retail versions of XP Pro, or some NFR junk?

Both bundles are NFR

Software and hardware

In that case, $250 isn't even that amazing of a deal. CPU and mobo are worth around $320-330 right now, and I'm pretty sure the price will come down quite a bit by July 19th; NFR XP is worth next to nothing.

Why do you say that? Is there a difference in the feature of retail XP and NFR XP?

No difference in features, it's just the difference in the license that comes with it. Technically, by reselling NFR software, you've violated the EULA; just like you would violate the EULA by selling a burned copy of it, selling the original copy of an NFR disc is the same infraction. The disc says right on it "This software is not for resale".

And yet some are selling their NFR bundles on the forums. *sigh*

Garlic, quit whining about your damned pictures. If you really wanted pictures, you'd have clicked on the link I posted before and scrolled down like I told you before and looked at the bundle pictures. So there are no macro pics of the CPUs, they already told you what they are here.

In case you are too lazy to go back and look to find the link, I'll even post it here AGAIN. POST 237. There, happy.

WOAH! Nice link. It's in my sig now

 

[ryanv12]

If you were going to spend that much money on two graphics cards, wouldn't you just spend a little more for an SLI motherboard?

 

[amheck]

Maybe they got in on the Tech Tour bundle, too, and didn't have a choice!

 

[CyberTron]

So here is an idea..... I'm going to use a thick black marker and put AT on my forehead.... I'm going to the atlanta show... who's with me? lol, ok, i'm not doing that, but I'm in a wheelchair, so you find me wont be hard.

 

[JOHNGALT99]

I will be going to the Atlanta show, Hit me up with a PM if anybody wants to meet up there

 

[Katalyst]

I'm going to the ATL show. If anyone wants to meet up at the show, let me know. I'll be heading out from the Buford/Suwanee (Mall of GA) area, so if anyone nearby wants a pickup, let me know also. I hate driving alone, especially to Atlanta :/

 

[CyberTron]

wish we knew how the place was going to be setup and we could just say meet up at such and such. I think i'll be getting there around 5'ish, i'm not going for the whole thing, just to pickup my stuff and get some free goodies.

 

[CyberTron]

can anyone confirm 2003 is NOT NFR? I asked this before but I dont think anyone answered me.... I'm seeing 2003 x64 pop up all over ebay and I have a feeling its the one from the show, I think its retail.

 

[imported_nitrus]

im getting two of the server bundles because i want to software, if any one is interested in the cpus and the motherboard LMK. i will sell it for 500+service fee+shipping.
