Greetings --

I have a very serious question for which I'd like an answer. And before I go any further I want to make it very clear that I am not in any way, shape or form a Troll. Nor am I in any way trying to discredit Gigabyte and their fine products. With that out of the way, here is my question.

Has this board (The Gigabyte X79 UD7) been discontinued? I ask because I was going to purchase the board today and when I went to the Newegg site and then Amazon both sites are currently listing the board as DEACTIVATED.

This is very disheartening for me to say the least. I have gone to a lot of expense and a lot of preparatory work for my new computer build which is to be based around this board, especially the color scheme. I've purchased a boatload of Cougar fans and sleeved the majority of my cables (MDPC) in colors to go with the "Gigabyte Orange" theme. I really, really hope that what I'm seeing on the Newegg and Amazon sites is just a temporary problem that Gigabyte is working to resolve.

So... If there is anyone on this forum from Gigabyte or anyone "in the know" who could answer my question, I sure would appreciate it. Has the board indeed been discontinued? If not, can we expect a re-designed board in the market again any time soon?

Thank you very much for your response and consideration of this matter. I appreciate it very much.
