I'd say everyone will... I mean once the G0 stepping is made available by Intel to them tTank Guys is hoping to purchase up to three times the pre-ordered amount... and Intell is said to put out chips like a radioactive hen on steroids... so unless the first purchase is secured by one of their guys going to the warehouse and picking himself with a. limited time or b. from a specific portion of their inventory with a lot of B3's in it.... then I'd say it don't matter where you are on the list...

Tank Guys seemed to feel confident about the hype and popularity of this chip going through the roof as soon as we got a few OC'ing... so I bet they will in fact try to buy a crap load of 'em and all at once cause there might be some sort of added discount for quantity... so this is probably one of those items that you can buy in bulk and not worry about selling out B4 it gets outdated

317 people? That's well... A LOT.

Nice $$ there man, nice $$.

What's the sound of 80k+ coming into your posession within a few days time? Ask Tankguys after the G0's come in.

Sounds like HDTV, surround sound, a crazy rig, few house + bill payments..

All depends how much they cost to buy + operating costs + other crap. I'm sure when it comes down to it, its a good chunk of change, but nothing to retire off of, =P

I hope they go out soon too, it is the last component that I need for a new system.

Oh trust me, it's not going to make us a ton of cash. This particular pre-order bit will make a fair amount of money on the surface, but our business is one of feast or famine. We have some extremely busy months, and some very quiet ones. So averaged out, it's far from a very profitable venture. The money we make on these orders will mostly be used to help pay our overhead during the past few dead months, and the ones that are sure to come.

I really do it as more of a hobby and as something I enjoy, not to walk away with fistfuls of $100's

Yeah but you asked what 80k sounds like to me :P


I'm sure it's at least a thousand, probably more... Considering each person pays up...
