I've had my order in there since late May, mine is due to be shipped early next week. Really friendly people, decent price, can't see why not :)
 
I just ordered one. I feel all tingly inside!

That is, until I get my credit card bill.
 
newegg i think i saw there xt for like 600+, its crazy..cdw is good, past i got my video card from them
 
Just ordered one and e-mailed CDW about the gateway price to get a pricematch. Great price. Thanks for the heads up!
 
Other people that have ordered the x800xt PE from cdw.com have emailed them asking for some kind of date. The standard reply was that they are scheduled to receive a large shipment on June 15th, and will have enough to fill all pre-orders and have some left over to sell normally, if ATI fills their entire order.
 
Doesn't look like CDW will allow a pricematch to Gateway.com, this is the response I got from them when asking for the pricematch:

If it is cheaper there sir.
I would buy it there..
We are not in the business of matching our competitors..
Thank you

He also said that they have no idea when they will be able to fill my order. Anyone else have better luck with the pricematching?

Xxxxx,
I changed the price for you. I'm not sure why it seems that
GateWay has priority over us, but I don't think that's fair
considering we sell Gateway!!! Just Joking.
Thanks again and let me know if you have any other questions -Xxxxx

I left out the name of the innocent in case they don't always do this and she just likes me ;) j/k I called her this morning and she said there are over 550 backordered cards in their system... The first SIX shipments of cards (from varying points of origin) are coming tomorrow, I'm one of the first 25 in the list so I should be receiving mine on Wednesday.
 
About availability :)
Hey Xxxxx,

Sorry I didn't get back to you yesterday. We had like 50 different vendors in here ALL trying to get us to sell their products. It's been nuts!
The ETA is still 6/15. Unfortunately no change yet. I will let you know as soon as I hear something!
Enjoy your vacation! Call me when you get back.
~Xxxxx

Greetings from vacation! :)

How's the outlook on the ATI cards? Last we talked, you folks were thinking it would be near the 15th. Any changes? I noticed that Gateway ended up backordering a TON of those cards they had in stock! Only about three dozen people ended up getting one right away; they got more than 400 orders in like a 48 hour period! They actually ended up yanking the online order page for that part! Whee!!

Anyway, hope you're having a great week! Don't let the unhappy whiner customers get to you ;-)

-Xxxxx

Hafta read it from down to up ;)
 
Can you please do me a favor and PM me her name/e-mail address so I can deal with her directly?

Just got denied again when I called CDW on the phone. Gave me the run around saying that the cost they are selling it at is too close to the cost they are buying them at from the vendor. Instead of sending her info in a private message, can you just e-mail her and ask if other people should be able to get this deal? This way we can all stop calling/e-mail CDW trying to get a better price and just acknowledge your l33t skills with the ladies.

Thanks!
 
I sent her an email about an hour ago, she responded about five minutes ago... Seems they no longer are willing to pricematch on a go-forward basis because of the cost that they are incurring. I don't think I have (hell, I KNOW I don't have) any special powers over ladies, I think I asked early enough that it was still "ok". The decision seems to have come from a higher-up authority...
