so what are the expected supply dates for the TRU120E and the TRU120bE?

thanks guys.

As far as the TRUE BLACK, you would be waiting more than a month for this product.

it is out of stock on every site i have tried (originally expecting stock on the 30th of march then pushed back to the 15th april then it got pushed back to 30th now it has been pushed back to 15th may):

scan.co.uk
overclockers.co.uk
overclock.co.uk
quietpc.co.uk
thecoolingshop.com
internetreadypcs.co.uk
emodder.com
kustonpcs.co.uk
filtron.com
tekheads.co.uk
valtechcomputers.net
candccentral.co.uk
amazon.co.uk
novatech.co.uk
1337pc.co.uk

there are lots of threads on heXus.net and bit-tech.net and other forums about the shortages of the TRUE's because of the sheer amount of people that are waiting for them.

if you could direct me to a UK site that has stock, it would be greatly appriciated.

thanks again

still waiting for a reply on this one, and i will update accordingly, just thought it might be of interest to some of you. :thumbsup:

but another thing i should add, is that, the UK seems to be the only place that has a stock shortage... the USA/rest of europe ect all have stock, the UK's seems to be just left in the dark...

edit: oh and please don't turn this into the whole 'whats the point in getting a TRU120E when you can just get a scythe mine' etc :rolleyes:

Probably a shipping issue.

Sounds a bit like another American company not really paying much attention to UK business.

took em months to get an AM2 bracket stock available in the uk. by the time it was here I had switched systems...

except there taiwaneese.....

But they are based in the USA too. thermalright.com is the USA website. There isnt a UK site. They definitely seem more interested in american business.

Ahh, but did you try overclcokers.co.uk?
:laugh:

wow, i didnt notice that and i was staring intently at the list hoping for one i'd missed

moral of this story.... stare more intently

possibly like this:

A) I care, thanks for the update;

B) Kickbacks?? Seriously, if OCUK are getting them, then other retailers should get stock pretty soon.
