Feels bad to be excited about this relatively insignificant thing in light of the Japan tragedy though.
Called them up this morning, and the CS rep said they are getting both the deluxe and the pro boards in "Next Monday or Tuesday". Kinda vague, but a whole lot better than April 7th imho.
Also, I just realized I made a typo--the deluxe board is $20 more than what I paid for the pro including...
I just noticed the deluxe board at TD is only about $0 more than what I paid for the pro+shipping. I think I'm gonna canx my original order and get the deluxe instead. Bottom line? TC says 48 hours to ship. !!!
I finally broke down and ordered a backordered P6P67 Pro from TigerDirect. Estimated shipping time was originally from Mar 16 to Apr 7, and when I completely filled out the order, all it said was Apr 7th (I'm guessing they published the later date just to be safe).
Oh well. That's the board I...
All retail is pretty much the same with these types of companies. I worked at Computer City from 94-95 and had many, many aggravating experiences. I was fresh out of HS and was interested in computers and games so I figured why the heck not.
This was their flagship store in Wilmington, DE...
That just makes me angry. I top out at about 8600 '06 Marks with two 7900GTs...
Can't afford to upgrade right now though, so unless I Ebay them and go without for that long, looks like I'm stuck...
You should take your temps again after a couple of days of heavy usage. I bet they'll be a couple degrees C lower even :)
come on, show the rest of the pics!
You'll move up to the next generation of GPU, so yeah you should see an improvement. A friend of mine had BF2 running on his x300 card, so it is possible but you already know it won't be the greatest gaming experience out there.
I did this little write up back in November. It works, but you either have to use spacers or get out your dremel. Enjoy (Post Number 4)

Now that's a disappointing post. Try not to be so sensitive; it's your build, use whatever you want and justify it any way you like. I enjoyed your build thread up to this point. Nice mod though for what it's worth.
Wowsa! I feel that I must point out that all smokers and their machines aren't stinking cesspools of filth and grime. I smoke in a well-ventillated garage and I tend to clean out my PC once a month or so. Granted I:m only about 1/4 as bad as the OP said he was but still. VENTILLATE. lol
I must be out of the loop. It took me until just now to realize that you guys weren't dissing your procs with bad spelling; the different runs of the same processor must have a date code stamped on them. I kept wondering why "week23" and week27" were teh new hawtness in leet slang.

Well, I've got a P805D overclocked to 3.5Ghz with a Zalman onion and 3 other 12mm case fans, and the stock fan on my 7800GT, and the 120mm fan in my PSU...so that's 5 x 120mm fans and whatever the vid card's fan is, all in my P180 and I gotta say that it's barely audible unless you put your head...
