No mate, it's dirt cheap and all that but no time for a new build and not interested in flogging it on either.

I'm just here for moral support

Just a few.

To give you an idea we just did 50+ boards in 2 minutes and the GD80 was on for 7 minutes earlier on.

I am just struggling to grasp it selling this fast, truely is madness.

Just out of interest what do you guys reckon to this lot to go with it? Any changes you'd recommend?

I'm going to wait until ATI's graphics card announcement on the 10th to decide what to do with that, will be plugging in my outdated 3850 until then!

why dont OCuk sell them at this promo price all the time? Surely you will sell greater volumes rather than up the price and sell fewer......

That's a good point actually; will DPD be able to cope? :eek:

Swinbag · 8 Sep 2009 at 14:13

just got a confirmation email for my gd80, I had to go through that stupid visa card verification thing seeing as it's a new card - nearly died when it wouldn't accept the date, realised in my mad haste I was typing 20012. oops :rolleyes:

fingers crossed

Because we cannot, this is a MSI supported launch promotion.

We have listed the board as Pre-Order only or Out of Stock, we have a few MSI boards at OcUK and another delivery tommorrow, with the second batch due in 3-4 days time.

All first batch orders should ship by the close of business tommorrow.

PwnDirect · 8 Sep 2009 at 14:14

" Order Complete "!

Better get my board you wouldnt like me when am angery!!!

Because we would then be selling and losing money. As MSI have supported us.

The stock wont last till 3:00 even if the run rate drops by 90%.

Just for the record in the two minutes our system had the GD80 live we have oversold by 25+ boards and counting.

We will be contacting customers to notify them if they have not gotten in on time shortly.
