    Well i have just got back home and I've ordered my x9000 from a guy in Oz for 340. The shipping was a bit much in my opinion but oh well its coming via international courier so i guess i cant complain much.

    Ah the wonders of international commerce :p

    Its an ES, but I'm hoping everything works fine. (yay paypal for buyer protection)

    If everything goes right i should have this bad boy in late next week, i'll let you all know how it goes.


    me... so... happy... :D

    I have a 20 i'm willing to put in. But we'll need at least 42 more cent to get the business running. And a catchy slogan...definitely a catchy slogan

    I can probably get a bank loan on Monday for the $.42 and I'll work on the slogan as well. So far I've come up with "Get your ES Extreme CPU here, instead of wasting your money on beer".
