They're waiting for a new shipment. Going to be maybe 3 weeks, I heard. Probably why they took it off the list.

Oh ok, i pretty much figured that was the case, but wasnt sure..
I also wanted to say thanks to everyone on this forums that have helped me out the last month or two. I got some really good info and it helped me out ALOT figuring out what kind of computer i waned. You guys will deff be hearing from me after i recieve the computer and will be doing a review in the future to let you all know how everything worked out.
I'm not sure if i have ever been this excited about getting something I kind of feel like i'm 5 years old again going to TOYS-R-US!! lol.

The thing is, is i don't want to wait to make the purchase when the holiday sale is over. I figured i could perhaps call DS after or before i make my purchase and tell them to change the PSU and that i would be willing to wait for the Corsair PSU Plus i wanted to change the front fan from red to blue. Should i Before or after purchase? Edited by Born2rade - 23 Dec 2009 at 8:06pm |

just purchase with the understanding that you want the corsair psu and will wait for it, that way you get to use the sale and get the psu.

the 750 watt corsair will be fine, as long as you don't want to add another graphics card down the road for crossfire. the enermax 1250 watt is a decent power suply to.

i would, and have taken the enermax over the corsair, it is a decent power supply. the 750 is fine, but it does limit you for running dual big cards..

EVGA X58 3X SLI vs LE vs Classified
Differences?
Worth going Classified?

depends on your use, if you need to do tri sli and have room for other pci cards then classified, if not then 3x sli should do.
another difference is that with 3x sli, lane 1 and 2 are 16x, which means in dual sli/cf your cards will be next to each other and will have higher temps then the classified, the classified has 16x on lane 1 and 3, allowing space between cards in dual sli/cf, so you get better temps.
