Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 Ok, where did you all get your EEEPC's from? I know literally everywhere is out of stock, with orders slowly feeding through. PC World are no longer taking orders. Clove.co.uk are still taking orders. Expansys' estimated stock dates are fantastic works of fiction! Play.com are also still taking orders. I havent checked RM. Anyone have any other suggested suppliers? I had good reports about a couple of Ebayers in Taiwan, but Id only get the 8G from them, and they are out of stock too at present! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest zeroamp Posted January 30, 2008 Report Share Posted January 30, 2008 I have been told that they arrived at the Coventry warehouse today (30/1/08) of Toys R Us. I got one in my local store, should arrive early next week, they had 3 coming in and I got number 3. They also had a working model in store. So try local Toys R Us and keep an eye on the website. £219 so it was competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prosody Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 After having an order placed with Play.com for a few weeks now and the status never changing from "Order Taken" I managed to sneak in and get one from PCWorld this morning. The fact that they don't take orders is a bonus in some respects as if you get their when they have them in stock then you can be pretty sure of getting one in the next week or so. :) I have the week off next week so no problems with the standard delivery, will post when I recieve it. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Whoa scary ... I just opened the EEE tracker page. CCL computers were showing 1 white in stock. Id already ordered a black 4g from Play ... but after Prosody's comments, I think it might take a while to come through. So I ordered the one from CCL and managed to reserve it. All processed and paid for now!! GET IN ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prosody Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Yep indeedy, my alter ego TubbyHamster. :) PC World have had stock for a good hour or so now, and despite the image the stock they have appears to be Black. :D http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw...p;category_oid= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Oh you star ... ordered !!! So I now have orders with: Play - Order Taken CCLComputers.co.uk - White 4G - Accepted order, I got the last one in stock ... then got an email saying "possible stock problems". So I think they took my order but might have sold it to someone else! Im on a conference call at the moment, so placed order with PC World too, as I would prefer a black EEE PC. Then I shall call CCL Computers and cancel the order with them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad I could help. :) From what I've read of people who ordered yesterday and the day before you will get two e-mails almost immediately 9which I have) then after a day or two you should get the actaul despatch e-mail with trackign details. I think we can expect them next week sometime. :D *fingers crossed* Let me know how your order goes, i'll no doubt be posting here if anything happens my end. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well I've just got my first email, and awaiting second one ... before I cancel the CCL order. Although I might get it anyway and see if the g/f wants it! I've already ordered extra RAM, and some tiny USB bluetooth dongles too. Now I need to either slipstream my XP install and then cut it down, or have a play with Xandros! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Play.com Cancelled !!! Second Email from PC World! I didnt think Id get this excited about what essentially is a spare laptop!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Well I just called CCL whom I ordered with earlier, and it appears that despite me ordering while it was in stock, they didn't allocate it to me ... so ... order cancelled !!! Hurry up PC WORLD ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Prosody Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 19:00 and they're still instock, the word is that their delivery was for 90 units, is supply finally catching up to demand... guess it helps that PCW doesn't seem to be on the stock checker most people are watching. Play.com have lost a few orders today though. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Haven't they just ... poor Play.com. Like you, I also forgot to use the YAWJAN08 code ... I called up today and they said they couldnt add the code at this stage. I said I didn't want to have to re-enter an order into the system just to make use of the code! I explained that you did the same, and they re-imbursed the difference. He's calling me back tomorrow. It's still a good deal, but a tenner off aint to be sniffed at. It will cover a couple of beers at the rugby on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Prosody Posted February 3, 2008 Report Share Posted February 3, 2008 Yep indeedy, I'm hoping that tomorrow will be the day. It's sat in Lichfield DHL center which is the closest to Derby so I'll be getting up early tomorrow and checking for the tell tale "Loaded to truck" message or such. :) I havean nLited Win XP on a USB stick ready to go. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Monolithix Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Bit of a trek from Lichfield to Derby though! :) If you're they'll do their rounds the same was as some of the Citylink drivers do - start at the furthest point and work back!

Guest Prosody Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Bummer man, sorry to hear that ... mine has arrive and is currently having XP foisted onto it. :) Hope you get some better news soon dude. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WearTheFoxHat Posted February 4, 2008 Report Share Posted February 4, 2008 Aaah it shall arrive soon enough. I was a good couple of hours behind you when I ordered mine. Oh I was told that they couldn't apply the "YAWJAN08" as Id already ordered it. I didn't mind too much as they were still cheaper than most other places. You need to change your signature line now. Is nLite the best way to squish down XP then? I've got an automated XP build, I just need to slipstream SP3 and remove extra stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
