You sure it said "In stock" and not "Normally ships in # days"?
Never had bad service from them.

Also, we should maybe not derails the Hardware Bargains thread with comments and questions...

Maybe call them for an update.

I've had a delay on on one of my orders made with a voucher where it was waiting for an EFT payment instead of using the CC for the balance, but that was quickly sorted out.

The rest of my orders were handled without issue.

Emailed them on Friday, they expecting the stock from their supplier sometime today.

Turn around times with them is usually pretty good unless the ordered item is coming from abroad. I assumed with a locally sourced product such as the MUX-120 turn around time would be 4 working days at the most. Guess I should stop being so impatient though.

Sometimes suppliers spoil and WOW the consumer like the K800 keyboard I ordered from eshopper on Monday. Was delivered the following day, they in DBN, I'm in JHB. They peaked my expectations.... :p
 
Got my MUX 120 yesterday 5pm. Installed and running, not the most intuitive thermaltake I've ever installed but temps looking good so probably worth the effort (34-39 at idle, i5-750).

As for the K800 Logitech wireless keyboard...

Really enjoying it.

Very neat and compact, sits beautifully on my desk, is petite but nicely weighted so no moving around under load.

Being an illuminated KB it's power hungry and needs charging via usb cable roughly every 10 days. I'm still using mine on the charge it shipped with.

The keys themselves are nice and flat and very quiet, feels very much like a laptop keyboard. Very comfortable to use and the spacing and weighting of the keys is superb. Typing test returns 68 wpm up from 63 on my previous logitech.

The Mux-120 is a very effective heatsink and probably not an intuitive thermaltake, cos it's a Thermalright? :D
 
Anyone can suggest a good cooler for a intel i5 2500k cpu? I'm not a gamer, and will maybe overclock later, but It wont nee a cooler that will break the bank. And where it's the best price of coarse...
 
Thanks, also saw it in another thread. I see takelot has it for R300, incl shipping, which is not bad. Will this cooler be capable, even if I overclock? And does it come with thermal paste?
