Just bought a 1700+ 0310 JIUHB from them, running it now @ 2385 mhz , my 2100+ also came from them and was an AIUHB 0302 @2400 , very fast and reliable reseller.

Another vote yes. Can get the stepping you want, fast shipping. Would buy a 2200b from them if they would stock those. Got an FIC an19e just sitting around....

everythign seems great with them....except the shipping. I predict alot of conflics from what I understand about their shipping methods.
1. My credit card bills to my PO Box instead of my house
2. It will need to be shipped to my office at work because of un-avaliablility of someone at the house to sign off for it...which messes things up even more because they want the billing address and shipping address to be the same ..... or else! :D
3. and because i'm planning on buying a case, MB, cpu, thermal controller, 4 fans, AS3, and a PSU from them...so if i would to change the vendor id have to order from 10000000 different places to get all the parts i want....
You all see what im talking about hehe?...is it worth THAT much trouble? or are they exadurating?

have any of you had to deal with having shipping address differing from billing address? and how did it go?
cause if it is a pain in the <insert body part here> then i'll just bite the cost increase buy a 2500+ off of GameVE instead of 1700+ ...since SVC is out of stock on 1700+ and havent re-supplied in quite a while now :(

yea, went very smoothly.
actually it's cause it was newegg. Usually when you order newegg it automatically says that your authentication complete and your order is being prepared in the warehouse. But since my billing/shipping address was different, I either three options: call my credit card company and add the address to the account, just use the online verification form, or some other option. Obviously I just did the online thing and took 1 min to fill out the form and it was done.
went perfectly.

Yes....I've bought 2 of the 1700+ for Excalibur. Both times they shipped the same day. Great company to deal with, 1st time I ordered I picked the incorrect shipping ups ground instead of ups 2nd day, I called them and the changed it to 2nd day and still shipped the same day. You can't beat that! They now ship fedex which is even cheaper. The last 1700+ I got, I had it shipped fedex saver(3days to eastern us) and it was delivered in 2 days.
If your worried that no one will be home to sign for the package, you could leave a note( I always put the tracking # and sign it) on the door telling the fedex person to just leave the package at a neighbor's house. Fedex has done this everytime I've tried it.
Good luck

my problem is that my billing address doesnt match my home address because i get the bitt in my PO Box... do i have to change the WHOLE billing address or just add an additional addres..something like an alternate "shipping address"

Call your credit card company and explain the situation to them. Some allow you to have an alternate address listed (whether they list it as billing or shipping shouldn't matter) or they may have another method by which they confirm addresses for merchants. Mine, for example, allows a second address.
BTW, I've ordered tons of stuff--just got another nf7 v2.0 yesterday--from excaliberpc without ever having a problem :thup:

Man than you have to use Paypal. No address conflicts anymore. I always use this method with Internet sellers.

Grey, just make sure you coordinate with you CreditCard company (customer service number is on the back of the card) about making a purchase and shipping it to an alternate address... as long as you abide by there rules (payments ontime) you'll have no problems. You have to get them(CC) to accept your shipping address to be an authorized one.
I have every CC there is to mankind and I just can't cut them up enough, but when I do make a purchase, I call them up to authorized a shipping address when I need to.
