Pre-order units released on 2017-12-22. Takealot had extra stock, probably cancellations, that sold out quickly. Dion Wired has some extra stock as well and that's what I ordered. My order is still processing. Really hoping it's not with the next batch that only comes in mid Feb

If I could find someone that has stock I would be there in 20 minutes...

Same here man. I'm getting super annoyed with Dion Wired ... they can't even tell me if they have stock.

I hope I'm wrong but my understanding is that dion will only receive their stock on the 15th of Jan and send it out on the 20th.

I hope you are wrong too! :D

The current online item is at R8k, I believe that is the stock that is only coming in later.
I still got my order in at R7.5k, which I'm hoping was actually warehouse stock.
I should know in a day or 2 whats what.
If I have to wait another week or 2, so be it! :eek:

@Christos, another day another bunch of different stories from Dion Wired. I've cancelled my order with them.
If you find something, a heads up would be appreciated :)

I know a place that usually has stock before the rest of south Africa but their phones never work and all their products are parallel imports or gray products... I'm not sure I want to give them 7k if they can't answer their phone to say the least!

Agreed! Definitely give that option a skip.
I rate I'll just buy Gears 1 and 4 and play that on Windows for now.
I'll worry about the KruisDoos later :p
 
Nice setups here. I don't game, or at least haven't in decades. Haven't been able to upgrade in years so my little setup is getting on in the years.

Currently have just AMD Phenom II 955, Asus board, 4GB ram (because brownouts suck), a bunch of drives and Samsung 850 SSD, DELL U2711, big old Cooler Master chassis, CODE mech keyboard with MX Clears, Kensington Orbit, and GTX690 and my now beat up AudioTechnica ATH-A900 headphones. Do dev on this box, but currently just using Gentoo.

Then have a HP microserver for storage, Netgear managed 24-port switch, etc.

Here's the current crap setup which will get sorted out after I'm done renovating other parts of the house:

But turning around there is this waiting...

Hopefully I'll be busy with that next week.

0 at the moment. Waiting for stuff to arrive. My riser cards come in next week, so this weekend I should be figuring out the chassis.

What you have going there? Send me some pics of your rig if you can. Need ideas.

Can't wait to get my shipment so I can finally measure things. And now I can't find my damn calipers!!! I hate home renovations, you can never find stuff afterwards.

Pushed for time right now. Never built one of these things and I don't like starting a job without all the parts. And tools ... Going back to look for my calipers. I swear when I find these they're getting a special carrier on the wall.

haha sounds hectic. I find the whole crypto market super exciting and challenging.
I built myself a gpu frame out of some old brandering i had lying around. No need to spend big bucks. But now i need to build a box around it for beter air circulation. Cause man gpus generate a sh!t ton of heat when mining

Best and quickest way to go. I'll build the next one out of wood, but I decided to use square tubing this time. I've been meaning to build out a garage bench from square tubing so opportune time to see if I like working with it. Way pricier than wood though. 12m of tubing for R300 and then there's the connectors I felt like trying. should have gone for equal angle and just pop rivet it together. Could be a good heatsink though. :D
