FARK! Still am undecided between P5W and P5B!
FARK! Still am undecided between P5W and P5B!
ncix has over 40 preorders but and atic got more 6600 than ncix. THere are 10 sitting at the store as of saturday night.
Anyone know where to get the Scythe Infinity in canada?
Tuniq Tower still unavailable and I really want something better than stock.
And I don't feel like getting the Ninja when the infinity is better and most likely(hopefully) available soon.... ?!
Got shipping confirmation from PCCanada. Credit card charged for the preorder price and my credit ! (total 409$ tax and ship included)
Look like I will join the E6600 club this week
I love PCC

Infonec....is a nice place! I drove up there today from Whitby, very impressed...
When I called yesterday, PC Village did not have e6600 or e6400 in stock (or the P5WDH for that matter).
Well I ordered from shopBLT in the US, unless I screwed up my billing/buddies shipping address. 353 shipped, so just about 410 Cdn. Save the tax.
If you don't get nailed by the customs....

Ya...smarter thing would be order from out of province, save the GST.If you don't get nailed by the customs....
Take note of this:
Declared $45 package from Petra's Tech shop...gel, fans, etc. I got customs of $18.
Your $100+ item, if you want insurance on it has to be declared at full value, and most likely will get you at least the tax you woulda paid...
If you're lucky though, congrats.
Btw, when I was in infonec, I checked their P5W, it was the AUOGG/YY (whatever, it had the extra letter in the serial number, it is the one with Mch voltage to 1.85).
For the benefit of those who can't be bothered to read back a page:If you don't get nailed by the customs....
I'm driving to the US in 3 weeks.

I just got a call from Memory Express here in Calgary. Beware - if you preordered, they will jack the price to $475. My preorder was for $409.95 + tax. If they jack the price on you, call them on it and rip them a new one.
Luckily, I bought an E6400 and am more than happy with it - no need to get ripped off by Memory Express.
I know what you mean, I was going to buy a 6400 from them and they wouldnt even match $300. It's not their policy to price match they say.

Yup, found that out a long time ago when i bought my Opteron 165.I know what you mean, I was going to buy a 6400 from them and they wouldnt even match $300. It's not their policy to price match they say.
They told me they'd price match NCIX, but they'd not give me the normal 1 yr. instore warranty if they did

G.Skill RipJaws 4x2 GB @ DDR3-1600 7-7-6-24-1N | HIS Radeon HD 5870
3x Intel X25-M 80 GB RAID-0; OCZ Agility 120 GB | Samsung SH-S243D
Corsair HX1000 | Dell 3007WFP & Samsung 204T | 7 Ultimate x64
NCIX had no issues with a price match, got E6400 for 290 + ship and gst. They can be sketchy with pre orders but their service has always been decent. Came to $10-15 less than what I could have got it for locally at mem express but its the principal of it not the $.

In case some of you have not been following the ncix forum threads, the new e6600's in stock there now are week 26 according to reports from a few buyers.
After seeing some of these improved o/c results from week 27 chips, I wonder who has them, if anyone? I'll snoop around but if anyone else finds them please report back.
For anyone still looking for parts, Filtech in Toronto near College and Spadina have the P5W DH in stock at $249 (the one I bought appears to be a 'new revision' with serial# 68M0AG).
They also have the e6600 in stock at $385 (the one I bought was a week 28).
I didn't even know this store existed but those prices beat all the others listed in the first post.
