The New Hotness :)

Yup.... as much as I love the pricing and stock that goes along with ordering on-line, I really wish NCIX had a storefront down the street from me so I wouldn't have to worry about shipping......

[lcdguy]

so i called UPS this morning to get an update. What a bunch of tools. All they told me was. The pckage is in the system WTF. Ugh i really can't stand UPS and would rather pay the $100 to ship it by puro air :) I wonder how expensive housing is in richmond bc :)

[cwestwell]

Very...very expensive...you could live in East Van though more affrodably it's only a quick trip away.

[Phobia]

theres an NCIX burnaby... that'd be closer to east van. or you could move out near langely, and go ncix langely. Richmond is nice, but it is expensive.. our house is almost 900K and my dads revenue condo is 400k and thats a condo less than 1000 sq feet! jeez

[cwestwell]

Really they need to start expanding there retail nation wide .....FS and BB are old news so much overhead to carry so much crap...Canada needs a better brick and mortar computer shop...I know Moncton could have one to cover East Coast...London ONT would offer a cheap location that could cover central Canada. I don't know what retail real estate is like in Que but I am sure they could use some love......and Maybe one in Edmonton where real estate is less then Calgary and it would tailor more to suckers like me from the North when Edmonton is essentially our Travel and Freight Hub.

que is pretty cheap for land compared to the rest of this country. Ottawa can be pricey depending on the area. Right now though the average for a detached bungalow is between 290-400k depending on the area. condos are around 200k. Also i got a reply from ncix and they are going to contact UPS to give them a kick in the arse to get it rolling again. Maybe if we shove a BFG up UPS' arse they would be more. let say "Motivated" to do a better job :)

Well i checked my tracking numbers. And some good news. One of the packages has an arrival scan :) in que :(. Hopefully i will get it on friday and hopefully it's not the case. But with my luck it will be the case. Then i get to hough that bad boy on the bus.

[lcdguy]

well i checked my tracking numbers today and one of the packages is out for delivery :) i can't wait to get it to i can find out which package it is. Will post pics later tonight.

[lcdguy]

well ups dropped off everything but the case today :( but the box didn't look like it was played with in a game of hacky sack so it should be good. But i still can't really use it until i get my case. grrr. Will post pics of the swag tonight.

[lcdguy]

Well the UPS man didn't come back with my case so i am all feeling abandoned now as i have this computer but nothing to put it in. I think if isn't going to show until sometime next week i will buy the same case locally and sell off the new one. I know i will take a hit but i really want this. I am sick of my crappy gx260.

As promised here are some pics. And will you notice most are not blurry yaay :)

Top Down



Side View, but it doesn't really demonstrate just how thick this thing is.



here we go, a little blurry but you get the picture. The comparison card is a 3850 with a EK FC 3870 WB. Crazy.



I would have gone for 1KW but my apartment has fuses and i don't have spares.



Oooh Shiny Box



Gratuitous Accessories Shot



And finally the board. Yaay. :)


Anyway i am going to be holding off until i get my case. While tempting as it is i would had to blow something up even before i have the case to drool over.
