The competition between them will warm up in the coming weeks.
By the way the yellow is the DFI and Darth Vader is Asus :lsfight:

I just want one. and I know I can save that £40 (which is only a rumour really) somewhere else on my new machine.
Wow, the price at Komplett has just gone up £5! :slapass:
I want to pre-order but I don't know if i'll have to wait a long time or not!:stick:
I know, im slightly regretting not placing my order on Friday! Dont know if i should order now (as its still £30 cheaper than other places) or wait till they fully launch and see if the price drops a little.Quote:

remember that postage is more expensive... standard is 2 -3 days most other places offer next day for same priceQuote:

We've waited this long, i know a few days extra wont kill me! :DQuote:

Novatech also dont charge your card until just before shipping... so if anywhere else shows in stock and for the same or lower price, cancelling is painless.
Just providing my findings :)
PS: I find it very odd that the only place in the UK that has had stock from Intel are also the most expensive.... smell anything???
Hmmm I agree, but the only thing attracting me to Komplett is that someone pre-ordered their E6600 and it said estimated shipping on 19th July I think? Thats so close (Wednesday!) Otherwise If OcUK get them in this week then I might just order from them... Don't want to wait until 24th but I shall see... :(
Novatech offer est del of Friday 21st if you click on buy.... They are all the same i.e. guessingQuote:

I know... got to say this whole Conroe thing has blown my mind :(Quote:

Lets just hope good stock starts arriving soon and puts us all out of our missery
Same here mate, Already ordered my Phillips 200W6CS Monitor (Arriving this week :woot:) to go with my new Conroe rig! I don't want it to collect dust! :nono:
So the sooner Conroe gets its arse here the better! :slapass:
on novatech try any out of stock item and it will give you the same delivery days, i think it just auto adds on 4-5 days to the normal options delivery would give you if they were in stock as most companies can get stuff in within a few days and meet the numbers, for pre release stuff they seem to do the same thing but they won't really know when they are coming in. komplete are saygin 19th, you'll see this only if you order not before.
as for ocuk, they say they are first, its very hard to tell, other places could have gotten 20 cpu's in and sold out pre order so they never come official in stock, doesn't mean they don't have them. i have a standing thought in my head to just not believe them.
its perfectly possible their distro paid over the top to get the first batch and whoever paid them the most could get them first. but its kinda unethical, and means they are about and won't be long, £100 to be first, you can't really get more desparate to be "known" on forums can you :(
as for their numbers, from what i know about their business size and orders per week numbers, the amount he says is a total lie, it might be what they want over the next month or two but i really really doubt that is a one time order. for instance, they got 50 in stock, they've been on pre-sale for two weeks and they didn't sell out, which should tell you firstly people aren't that desparate for them and 2 they don't have such a huge business as they make out. not to mention there is no way in hell a smaller company will rish buying that many cpu's at the price premium rates and take a while to sell them, despite bulk price saving the prices from distro's will drop a lot more than the bulk saving amount in the next few weeks and availability goes up.
IMHO, yet another bit of OCUK are the best propaganda.
So would you say that waiting for the 19th for Komplett will be best? And then if that doesnt happen go with Novatech? Then OcUK as a last resort yes? Sounds sensible to me...
I have done it the other way round.. Novatech first because they dont chage my card and cancelling is a one click process. If komplett show stock first i will switch and if something goes tatally wrong and OCUK are the only place with stock i may consider themQuote:

Now the motherboard...:slap: DFI or Intel Bad Axe... I don't have a 775 cpu to flash the Asus, though Asus will provide a new bios chip but after how long... 28 days?! :slapass:. I think i'll get the DFI and then consider RD600 later on...
i preordered mine with novatech, they mailed me today saying:
after asking on a guesstimate for delivery of the E6600Quote:
Hello
The official launch day is the 23rd so they should be in then. There is a small chance that we will receive them on Friday 21st so they can be dispatched on the 23rd. If we don't receive them until the 23rd they may be dispatched that day or it may be the Tuesday. It depends what time we take delivery.
Regards

Wow dispatch on a sunday!? :o that's pretty damn sweet. Thanks for the info tommo!
