    Below is a directly pasted email from rjtech. How is this possible? Are they just lying to me?


    Dear Customer:

    Thanks for your order online.

    The 7950GTX card is out of stock right now, and we are expecting it some day this week. If it does not come in this week then it will be in next week.

    If you have any question please let us know.

    Thank you!

    Yes, they are lying to you. Everyone on the forums knows RJTechs restock level better than they do.

    Seriously, either you take them at face value or you don't. They have told other people that they would be getting the 7950GTX's in this week also.

    My suggestion, wait and see.

    Shoot. I know other places are backordered.
    They're sort of stupid, you know?

    no, they are trying to keep you interested in their product..if they told you..hey we wont have them for another month+..im sure it would steer you away to the first store that did have it.

    Listen up folks.....

    Clevo is backordered. And everyone else will feel it as well.

    And another thing....

    All vendors/resellers (in North Amercia) get their notebooks from Sager, Pro-Star, or Eurocom.

    So if those "big 3" are backordered, so is the rest (like RJtech gets their barebones from Sager).

    I know they are backordered, I guess I'm just surprised that they would blatently lie to me. Which is why I checked it out with people I trust more (you folks.)
