for those who want the c90s now

I know that there is a huge delay with gentech and all other places because of either testing or out of stock but on ebay, they are selling 2 systems for not too much more than others.

and

the 2.66ghz one is about $130 more than what gentech offers for both but i have contacted the seller via AIM and was told they would ship now and there are no problems with them - already tested. and its $120 extra to make it a 3 year warranty.

just for those who will pay extra to get it now....

 

and for those who care, hes running a pre-production 8800GTX in his clevo M570RU (sarger np5790). been asking questions of how its running....i wish i had one

 

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 

exactly....

 

How does he have one and more importantly does he know release date?

 

Also, if you don't care about the name brand sticker on the laptop your local Circuit City might have the Velocity Micro x20 in stock. I've had mine for over a week now, came with no bloat ware and all the Asus utils installed, everything working flawlessly out of the box.

 

didn't know the release date, but its ISTNC on AIM - he is just an employee there.

though when i asked how he got it, he just said he just requested it from clevo, which i don't see the point in really lying and saying you have one but that seems odd that a simple request to clevo allowed it. I do know clevo has shown a laptop with the 8800 though.

 

completely forgot about that! how is the prices compared to gentech/btotech?

 

E6600 2.4Ghz
2GB Crucial RAM
160GB WD Scorpio 5400RPM Hard Disk
Intel wireless
Bluetooth
Cost + California sales tax: $1679

Circuity City had it on sale for $1550 on their website last week and thats the price I paid when I went to the store. The price on their site is now $1599. I think the only one "in stock" now in SoCal is in Torrance. There is a demo unit at the Rancho Cucamonga CC, I bought the boxed one.

Where ever you get it or however long you wait you will LOVE the C90!

 

Actually, looks a little different...slower FSB:

From the Circuit City website:
"Data travels to the processor along the frontside bus. The faster data travels, the faster everything works. This notebook features a 667MHz frontside bus."

 

that is a mistake, if it uses the e6600, then it has a 1066mhz and the ram is 667mhz

its just a typing mistake

 

Confirmed typo on their site.. my BIOS shows 1066

 

hey ginzero - does it come with all the software from asus? like turbogear, etc?

 

Yup...

Software installed: turbo gear, finger print reader software, 3dmark06, Genesys PC cam, Nero 7, vista home premium

 

i ordered one from circutcity online;

 

sageo1 - let us know how fast u get it and if theres any problems

 

I wanted to buy it from velocitymicro.com, essentially the same price as gentech but the extented warranty is only with 24h service, wich is not available in canada so I pay $300 for a unavaliable service? no!

 

ordered on the fourth; processed on the sixth; and should be here today around 3 pm says fed ex delivery.

pretty fast.

sorry to hear abou that shipping issue JMCS

 

hey ginzero is your vista 32 or 64?

 

showed up yesterday evening and is very cool;

the fans are a nice touch;

how do you turn up the volume on the system it seems very low no matter what i try;

 

Try configuring the sound in the realtek hd audio manager speaker properties.

 

i changed some of the boot settings and had a fun time making my way back from the changes in vista; pretty coo;

i guess i gotts download the extra software.

thanks peace.

 

good thing it came with a files and drivers cd ; i called in the warranty just to be covered; but i was missing the op install cd and they are sending me one coo;
