So Cyberpowerpc got the cards, but the 12 gigs of way-too-much-RAM I got (CORSAIR 2GB 1866 MHZ DDR3 DOMINATOR 6) is now on backorder until tomorrow (12/4/09) which is now the state Estimated Ship date.

Cripes. I didn't know RAM was in short supply....

It's the waiting that is the best part though.

Yeah, but cripes--- it's been a month.

That and they didn't wait to charge my credit card!

My question, if the RAM comes in on the day they expect to ship, how do they have time to do the burn in/testing, etc.?

Hehehe... QFT!

Shipping will be delayed to allow burn in / stress testing, trust me.

TWELVE gigs of RAM? Good lord!
Does this server slide out of a rack? LOL

Yes, I'm jealous!

You're lucky the Raptors are not on backorder. Now both SSDs and Velociraptors are in short supply here in Austria and Germany.

Well gents, in theory, if the CyberpowerPC "order status" is to be trusted, it has been assembled, is scheduled to ship tomorrow. It's also scheduled for "Quality Check" tomorrow, so I'm not sure if this means Cyberpower will just move the date forward all but automatically (as they have in the past), or if this burn in has been going on for a while.

Gawd, getting a tracking number for this baby would be a relief!

RSCOLONEL: I'm at least assured it's built and all hardware is in.

d.

PS> My next addition, when my wallet recovers (at LEAST a few months) is a nice SSD card. I'm hoping these will steadily drop in price and maybe increase in capacity by say next May.
