    There is a list of dealers in the FAQ, have you tried emailing them and ask if they have any in stock.

    For Z96J, no one in US and Canada can give you one, all waiting for the optical drives, the optical drive should be in US at July 27th, and a few days later in Canada. The first shipment of Z96J to Canada is only 16 pcs, we took 10, and 6 of these go to different dealers.

    S96J, the last shipment to Canada was also very very small, distributor sold out in 1 minute, we only got a small qty, after fulfilled the pre-orders, almost all gone. I believe it will be very hard to find anyone has any left, if someone does have any left, the only conclusion will be that company has very poor sales rep, such a hot cake cannot even be sold. I doubt if you can find any unit. If you are looking for S96J, I think it will be very hard to get it without pre-order.

    Milestone will all of your Z96Js be used to fill preorders you have right now or am I still be able to pre-order and get one of the 10?

    Also do you put all the parts together or do I have to do that myself?
