    Problems connecting with wireless card - ASUS pce-n15

    Hi all, I recently finished building a new rig, my first in a long while. I'm installing all the drivers and such, and the wireless network card will not seem to work. I tried installing the packaged driver and it seemed to work, but it won't find my wireless network. So I went to the...

    GTX 680 In Stock Thread

    Thanks for the responses all - guess I will just call Bestbuy and see if they actually do have plans to ship it in the next 7-30 days. Haha. If not cancel and wait for ASUS or whatevs. Cheers!

    GTX 680 In Stock Thread

    Hmm this is annoying. Want to buy ASUS from Newegg... but don't want to have to pay for / miss out on backordered evga from Bestbuy. What's the difference anyway?

    GTX 680 In Stock Thread

    Good idea - I'll hit 'em up tomorrow. Unless maybe they're on Mumbai time or something :P I probably can just call and cancel the order, but if they really can have it to me in '7 to 30 days' that might be better than Newegg/Amazon/et al...?

    Building my first rig in years! :D

    Gotcha, thanks. Set an alert with nowinstock.net for amazon and tigerdirect, it won't do newegg usa though, boo. Should I wait and order everything at once you think, or get it all set up and ready for the videocard? If it takes all month that'd be lame.

    Building my first rig in years! :D

    Alright thanks yet again - think I'll be placing a bulk of the orders tonight, if not all, after researching some of the peripherals a little more. Also, how long should I have to wait for Newegg to be stocked up on the GX 680? Worth it to wait, you think? I don't need the pc urgently or...
