Thanks!

Thanks for all the thoughts. I'll look into a 6Gb/s card with a SATA ssd. If I won't be booting off of it, which one would I need for that?

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate the advice, but I'm planning on a full upgrade next year, and planning on carrying over whatever PCI-E SSD I pick when I do. Your recommendation is tempting, though... Can you please tell me why you recommend this route? My mobo doesn't support the...

I've read a few threads about this, but there's none that seem to answer the question: Which current-generation PCI-E SSD's are bootable on legacy hardware (specifically, X58 Rampage II Extreme)? I only know of one guy who used the Kingston Predator on his X58, but I know it can't be the...

Is the CPU cooler for sale?

So what CPU heatsinks are people using if you don't mod the drive cage? I noticed a Samuel, but wasn't clear on what others were being used.

YGPM on cheap ram.

PM re: Logitech keyboard

I wonder how many folks who, like you, got one to see what they hype is about and will want to sell it later. I'm sure those prices will fall at some point.

Actually that's pretty impressive that she even knows what this place is.... #hugsandkisses

So, has anyone's HBSMB orders shipped out (like the ones which previously were listed as B/O)? Mine was supposed to ship yesterday (on a Sunday??), but has not and I've been told by people around here and other forums that it will not ever ship.

BTW I think costcentral has some of the accessories in stock less than MSRP. I haven't ordered any though their website seems to be pretty convincing.

it's funny, I think this whole shindig is going to be studied by marketers, sociologists, etc.

Man, my flat in Asia has a DIR-655. That sucks. Maybe there will be a firmware update to fix it??

doh! it says ordered 2, alloc 0, B/O 2, & later it says Est. Delivery is 9/2 not 8/28. So that means I'm SOL?

So HP SMB order status says this: Order #: 0306xxxxx Order Date/Time: 08/25/2011 03:15:46 AM Customer #xxxxx Estimated Ship Date: 08/28/2011 Customer PO #: 444xxxx Estimated Delivery Date: 08/28/2011 Associated...

Unfortunately you Houston (and probably Austin) folks are SOL because of the tech communities...they're more aware and faster to buy stuff like this than, say, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. BB website has reported units in stock there since the beginning! I've thought about driving an hour there and...

LOL

OK, YGPM. Thanks!

Do any of you have an extra dock I could buy off you? All my local stores are out.

Get this: So I went to BB yesterday morning; I heard they were going to get some in. Manager says that their truck arrives late afternoon, they unload in evening, come back tomorrow morning. So this morning I show up and there's a big crowd. Some folks walk right in, some don't. What's the...

Actually mine works fine. We'll see how it works through the case AND a skin.

Thought I would give you guys a report. I got 2 via eCost delivered yesterday. Sold one to a member @GH. Keeping the other for myself. Wow, I've been really impressed by this thing. I've had multiple Palm products in the past (Personal, Prism, and Tungsten T3) and iPhones, etc. For the...

So, what was your winning genius argument?

This. I always add a low-cost accessory and expedited shipping on stuff like this. And I have 2 orders from eCost from yesterday morning, both have shipped and will be delivered tomorrow.

Yep! :p

Just got order confirmation on HP small bus. for 2 16 GB's. Sweet.

My status on eCost updated to SHIPPED with a tracking number. Never got an email notification. Insight is showing in stock right now but online ordering craps out at confirmation. Call them at 800-INSIGHT if you want one.

Not to mention the two-headed chinese kids with mercury coursing through their veins! :eek: I have one order (at full price @Buy.com) and two orders at eCost, all in processing, all already charged my card. I really needed to get some stuff done today.

heh, nice link target! :D That URL is a waste of time. Ad revenue for the owner is all.

Yep, I posted a little while ago after talking to eCost (see above); their stock status and actually inventory don't have any coupling. The system estimates and so those of us who jumped on eCost might be screwed. He said they had 4,540 units in stock (not sure 16 or 32 GB), and I would...

CDW's cart system is now crashing quite a bit.

So what's the best option right now? CDW?

I just got through to eCost CS and they said I "might not receive my order" because their stock status and warehouse inventory weren't linked together! He said the stock status is just a 'guess' by the system. Their warehouse currently isn't responding to inquiries so he can't tell me if I'll...

My local BB told me they expect to get in more "at the end of the week". May be worth a visit if your order got cancelled.

She just fired a girl and is going over all the legal forms now. The girl seems pretty calm about it. They're giving her 45 days of pay and medical coverage and referring her to a headhunter firm. Oh, you mean about the orders. :D OK will do.

LOL eCost's CS line is so screwed up right now; I'm on hold hearing background music along with an HR manager's phone call! :eek:

I'm still haggling with a Philippina Buy.com rep trying to get my price adjusted. Good thing I can still refuse it or return it. Both my ecost orders still say 'in processing' and I can't get through to their phone support. Somewhere in Delhi and Manila, a call center is burning. :-D

The bill of materials for the Touchpad was $318 I believe, so it would be a pretty massive loss for HP. Doubt it was on purpose. However, the could capitalize on the situation through software services, app stores, licensing, etc. This mayhem has been amazing to watch; it's like a zombie...
