Wootware sorry, but I just saw the 1600af is out of stock :-(

Wife is happy with the 1600AF and 16GB RAM upgrade, POE runs a lot better now. Now I've got a case, power supply and a intel 4430 with 12gb.

Yup which for an 18m old chip is a bit steep, I've had my 2600 for a year and a bit and it's been great, but I paid that price when I got it.

They do say stock is on the way at least.

That they do, now I need some m2 3x5 screws and some thumb screws.

Let me know when you decide to sell the old system

Well it would need to put together as I ran don't have any m2 screws to put the motherboard into the case, also it would be a discrete network card and a USB sound card, cause the onboards don't work :-(

Argh the fan screws that come with raidmax fans really suck stripped 3 just trying to mount a fan into the CM690 as it didn't have an exhaust fan, two of the ones holding the fan in are also stripped but at least they held. Going to take herculean strength to remove them.
So be warned when buying RGB Raidmax fans, the screws are horrible, all 4 I've bought only 2 out of 16 were any good.

Seems about right a year after release.

Yup exactly which is why I don't get it being sold at it's release price all of a sudden

It was a tad more on release think it was R3499 but yeah

Like you said, it's high for a 18 month old chip

Like you said, it's high for a 18 month old chip

Yeah it is high for an 18m old chip, I'd expect it to be R100 maybe R200 more than the 1600AF, as in the US you can get them for $115 to $120 according to tech channels. But than again the 1600AF is supposed to be an $85 chip and yet we're paying 140.

And that is why the 1600AF is such great value against the 2600 over there in the states, but yeah companies love fleecing us here
