Hopefully that works better than Newegg's alert system. Can't count how many times I had a notify me when in stock and it failed me. Some times the item would be in stock for weeks, I would forget and would realize it after the fact.

I've been using nowinstock.net to track the damned thing, had to leave the house this morning for a couple hours, and missed two brands that went on Newegg within minutes.
So did ya get one Slavious?

nope gigabyte has been flashing in and out but IMO I think newegg is doing that to cycle instock trackers to get people on theirs site!!@#$!@%@!
Missed it twice today, once you added to cart it cock blocks you

MSI was available for a while yesterday but I didn't jump on it because of all the msi issues of late.

WOOOO HOOOOOO
Got a eVGA SC on the egg just a few minutes ago :):):):) The damn tracker I was using kept interupting my order so I shut the damn thing down and finished paying with paypal. The egg shows my order as CHARGED :)
I'll have my new baby 2nd day UPS :D
You get one Splig?

Put a bid on one at E-bay..then found a buy it now on e-bay. I figured i wouldnt win the one i was bidding on so i bought the buy it now one. Then the egg puts the SC up and i say fk it and buy the SC. Now i've got 30 min left on the one i bid on at E-bay and i'm still the winning bidder. So shit in less than 30 min i will own 3. OMFG. Keep you eyes on my FS thread. Good deals are about to happen.

I've got an SC and a vanilla on pre-order with Amazon. If I keep em both alive that would be three here too :P Not sure I want to spend that much :eek: besides, they'd burn out the A/C and then I'd really be screwed :D
Good work Splig & Duke ... :) Almost bought the buy it now one on e-bay too :P lol

Microcenter by me gets the pny gtx 480. Any thoughts on that company?
I feel its not even worth benching 3d if you dont have a 980x now. as soon as I get close to having enough I open my mail box or baby mama calls. Then shawn has less than half the funds :(

Damn technology change.....I like the "adopt early/sell early" philosophy. I think it costs less in the long run. I've broken even and sometimes even made money on GPU's by doing that at release. Course, it's all out the window when you start putting them under the soldering iron........
Got caught up in the OCA frenzy :pile:
......just did a Buy it Now ebay purchase on a Galaxy 480. Signed up and used Bing and ebay bucks - so with the tax savings it'll be a few bucks cheaper than if I'd gotten from the egg.
Praying it's the same "batch" as Dent's.

Talk about adding insult to injury.
Check out this email I got today regarding my almost score on a giga card. "Courtesy reminder. Don't forget to complete your purchase." Bastards.
