$40-$50 for a good 3rd party heatsink.
That's about $100 LESS with a SUPERIOR COOLER than the same thing at NewEgg.
Pretty ridiculous.
Worked for me charlie. However, i have a funny feeling Newegg wont allow my review to be published!Quote:

:D lmao, I believe I called this one a few hours ago :d:p: way to go newegg:stick:
Well I just called frys and had them put on hold an intel badaxe board and 6400 they said they would honor any frys coupon so I am bringing that 499 bundle coupon over in just a few to pick them both up. I think 540 after tax is reasonable for the cpu and mobo considering I dont have to wait for phantom shipping dates. Kinda sucks because I have an MSI board on its way to me so I guess I will have to sell it to someone. gonna keep my tank guys order for my 6600 just in case I dont like this 6400 though.
This is the response I got from PC Club for anyone thats interested.Quote:
At the moment, our system does not show in stock. We are expecting the shipment to arrive at our distribution center today.

I'm picturing the "angry mob" scene from "The Waterboy" and hearing Rob Scneider in the back
"Cut his fing HEAD OFF!!"
"Your pickup order is ready"...so looks like I'll be going to Micro Center on my way home today. Then I can move on to something more fun than waiting!
thanks for the idea... i sent an email to the nytimes - hopefully they pick up on it too...Quote:

lol, stop harrassing customer service, they can't change the prices..
You guys do know a lot of bigger etailors have switched to using those automated "intelligent" response systems, based on the responses it looks like that is who you might be talking to. Look up ALICE.
Several places have now said they're getting a shipment today..Quote:

Anyone know what the latest is with TG 66/67/68 shipment?
Edit: Checked their forums, week of the 15th.
Tank guys please stock X6800, I don't want to buy from anyone else.
When Newegg first listed X6800 a couple of weeks back for over $1350 I sent a flame mail to neweggrocks@newegg.com about it. I got a package of gifts a couple of days later (t-shirt, cap, stickers, license plate frames), and no direct reply to the e-mail. That's where part of their profits are going, to appease the unruly customers out there with gifts. Still doesn't change my mind about Newegg, I don't mind paying a little more for great service but this is :banana::banana::banana::banana:ing rediculous.
lol flame email from every1,that should get their attention in infact the chat is automatedQuote:

It seems that TigerDirect's pricing wasn't that bad and this whole launch is one big supplier rape.
Maybe its one big conspiracy and everyone is holding there conroes to jack up the prices on the lower end e6300 and e6400 because they feel like they won't sell once the e6600 and e6700 is in stock!
