Hello,
We all know and love Newegg, but recently they've been jacking the price of the E8400 everyone wants, which I understand.. but they've also been running out of stock like crazy. My wishlist at one point had 6 items listed as out of stock at the same time. At this rate I'll never be able to get my new PC up and running..
So, I'm asking for alternatives. The main thing besides the E8400 is that the Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 Rev B is out of stock virtually everywhere. I managed to find a site called NCIXUS.com and it is apparently the American branch of ncix.com, dubbed the newegg of Canada. It has most things I need in stock at lower prices than Newegg, although most of that savings is wasted because of their high shipping costs, but they do have the E8400 and Accelero S1 (supposedly) in stock. I just don't know how good they are. I've googled a few reviews and it's a mixed bag. Most users complained that the site would show items in stock until you actually made a purchase, at which point it would tell you it was on backorder, but charge you for it anyway. If they really are reputable though (and I mean the US division, not the Canadian one) then I'd end up saving (overall) only $6 as opposed to ordering everything from Newegg due to ncixus's high shipping costs, but I wouldn't have to wait on Newegg to restock (currently ETA on Accelero S1 is March 4th on the egg...) Newegg is still the tried-and-true way though, we all know it works, they just need to have the stock..
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
