got me thinkin now.tiger direct by comparison to monarch,its still a much better deal even with the high shipping :poke: .
example:4400+tiger direct>oem 563.83 to my door
4400+monarch>oem 624.90 to my door
Welp, im going to sit on the purchase until the price cuts come out, then see how these drop in 4 weeks. I dont need it that badly.
anyone want my SD? =D I think I'll wait a little for price to drop
I do. I'll be married next month. If I don't get it in June its going to at least be March 2006 :p:Quote:

fyi - tankguys.com has pretty much confirmed that they're getting 200 X2's (not sure which speeds) tomorrow and will be shipping them out on the 8th. Better prices than monarch and free shipping. They've been pretty active on the anandtech forums and appear to be good guys.
Tread cautiously there! You have to ask yourself why would a company like tankguys who dont even hold stock of venices and san diegos be able to get X2's before say Monarch?Quote:

ETA - Estimated Time of Anticipation is more like it :(
The other thing suss about tankguys is here.

The guy enragedcow had earlier been talking up tankguys then posts a direct answer to someones question about distribution sites. This is shortly followed up by what seems to be an attempted explanation from the "official" tankguy and a lame excuse given by enragedcow as to how he got the information.
However if you look at what he has posted (enragedcow) it is in direct response to a question on Indiana from EOdirect so the cut and paste of an email excuse doesnt wash at all.
Distinctly dodgy tactics.
Here's what you guys have to look forward to ;) :

This cpu's not as strong as the one I sent OPB, but it does run cooler - and this is damn cold for a stock mach2. -41C Mach2 Evap reading, -36C TypeK Probe on face of Evap, -18C internal temp diode on cores....
How stable, whats the max o/c, im trying to decide between a 90nm 55 or a 4800+ right now.
You know, I'm just playing around with the cpu right now, so I haven't really pushed it too hard. But:Quote:
