5/5

Ok. I'm one of the victims who couldnt buy motherboard because of sandy bridge recall. I waited 2 months just to get that damn thing but it was so hard( still really hard). Especially ASUS P8P67 series, Newegg had it for what, like 2 hours 2 weeks ago, and never had them on stock. I went to TigerDirect, these guys are bad. -> it says on their website, the item is in stock oh hell no it's not. As soon as I ordered, it said backordered. I check the item again, it still says "in stock"! I call the customer service, this guy who sounds sleepy answers and says the website updates late. WTF.

After waiting few days for my money to comeback from tigerdirect, I decided to take risk. Not many people know Excaliber and many PC enthusiasts only recommend Newegg. However, I beg differ. EXcaliberPC were the only ones that had P8P67, and they really did have them in stock(unlike tigerdirect). Shipping fast as hell, I order on Thursday, get the item in Monday morning. Extremely good business.

p.s.: I was still in doubt if this business was legit. Even after I got the motherboard, I was checking all over to see if it's validated B3 revision. B3 sticker was missing on the board, but I guess it was like that from Asus, because when I hooked the system up and went to BIOS, it said B3! Great!
