FYI: The first round of GPUs have arrived (i.e., "IN HAND!").  Photos will be posted later for those who are curious along with one of our parallel rig builds using MSI 750Ti's as well.

PM sent.

These are all BRAND NEW (as in "still in the box and shrink wrap" status) components.  The GPU's will be arriving on 9 April 2014 (hence the "Pre-Order" in the title) HAVE ARRIVED!  The list includes the following:

• x6 Asus 750Ti (P/N: GTX750TI-OC-2GD5) GPUs.
  
• x1 ASRock H81 Pro BTC OR Biostar HiFi H81S2 motherboard.
• x1 Intel Pentium CPU (yes, it goes the with above motherboards) + thermal sink/fan.
• x1 Kingston 8GB Hyper-X RAM module.
• x1 SanDisk Cruzer 16GB USB preconfigured with KopiemTu CUDAminer Linux distro to build, plug, and mine!  Yes, also large enough to include a QT wallet as well for solo mining.
• x1 Antec 750W 80+Platinum rated PSU (includes an extra molex to SATA power cable adapter).
• x6 36" USB powered risers kits.

All for US$1795.00.

Optional items if desired:

• GPU aluminum mining rig frame (stackable design) @US$180.
• USB wifi (yes, "Linux friendly").  @US$15.

Photos:





NOTE: The full rig images are of an MSI 750Ti Twin Frozr build we did with the optional frame.  As noted from the other images...yes, we have the Asus 750Ti GPUs in as well for this specific offer!

Shipping

• Shipping will be via FedEx Ground unless otherwise requested (e.g., Next Day, Second Day).  Shipping will be determined after initial order is placed and invoiced out accordingly.  Shipments via FedEx as our preferred shipper only.
• Signature releases will be required.
• Shipping possible to US only at this time.  Shipping to other location such as Asia or Europe most likely will be cost prohibitive in all honesty and unfortunately, so we are going to decline requests for such at this time.
• Note: Orders of computer hardware internationally could invalidate any manufacturer's warranty.  This includes GPU hardware.  If you wish to do so, you are doing such at your own risk and acknowledge this with our company.

Orders and Payment
The process:

• Order through our e-store here.
• If it is still listed with more than zero available, it is still available for purchase.  
• We will send out an invoice.  Our system takes Paypal directly.  If desired to pay in BTC, please advise of such in the Comment section during checkout.  We will invoice out via Coinbase accordingly.
• Payments via Paypal or via Coinbase only in US$.  We will use Coinbase's exchange rates at the time of invoicing.  DO NOT ASK FOR BTC PAYMENTS FROM ANOTHER EXCHANGE!
• Shipping to Paypal verified addresses only!  Shipping and handling costs to be calculated once an order is received and a second invoice for shipping will be issued and due upon receipt.  We can ship via any FedEx means, though FedEx Ground will be used as the "default" to keep things simple.
• No orders will be taken from any forum postings, only through our web site!   Paypal and Coinbase handles all of the payment processing as well to meet PCI compliance.
• ANY PAYMENT NOT RECEIVED WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER BEING INVOICED WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY VOIDED AND CANCELED!  The available product(s) will move on to the next customer waiting in line.

How to do proper business sales and transactions 101
This is put in here since there are quite a few folks out there who just do not seem to understand nor think clearly when it comes to "buying an item online", especially in the crypto currency arena.  Linux ETC is a proper business entity, just like NewEgg, Tiger Direct, Amazon, etc.  

Normal purchase transaction:
Buyer places an order and provide means of acceptable payment to seller.  Seller then provides a sales order and/or an invoice for said purchase.   Payment is collected by buyer from seller.  Buyer ships out product to seller.  Product is signed for as being received by seller.  Transaction is complete.

It is simple as that.  If you do not wish to follow such simple and clear steps of a transaction that provides clear records of said transaction, then we will suggest doing business elsewhere.  When there are invoices with proper billing information such between a buyer and seller, this is a binding transaction until completed or mutually terminate by both parties.  Linux ETC has no issues putting who we are nor where we are located out towards our clients.  We suspect for anyone wanting an honest business transaction and purchase to be mutual and do the same in return.

We had a client over purchase a few items that we ordered in bulk, including enough components to make several full 4.25Mh/s scrypt GPU rig (which can be used for n-scrypt, jane-scrypt, and such as well of course ).  These are all BRAND NEW (as in "still in the box and shrink wrap" status) components.  The list includes the following:

• x1 ASRock H81 Pro BTC OR Biostar HiFi H81S2 motherboard.
• x1 Intel Pentium CPU (yes, it goes the with above motherboards) + thermal sink/fan.
• x1 Kingston 8GB Hyper-X RAM module.
• x1 SanDisk Cruzer 16GB USB.  Yes, large enough to include a QT wallet as well for solo mining.
• x6 Gigabyte R9 280X (P/N: GV-R928XOC-3GD REV2) GPUs.

All for US$2995.00!

We can obtain the missing components to "complete the set" which would be as follows:

• x6 USB power risers (36" length cables) @US$20/each.
• 1300W + 750W PSUs (we prefer 80+Platinum rated ones here).  Pricing to be determined depending on brand and watts desired of course.

Optional items if desired:

• GPU aluminum mining rig frame (stackable design) @US$180.
• USB wifi.  @US$15.

You mean the R9 290X Tri-X or the R9 280X Toxic to keep with Sapphire's models properly? 

Separating out the brands.  Initially there were only Sapphires in supply from our distributors.  Now there are some Gigabytes along the way.

Just a minor update.  We expect an order of Gigabyte R9 290 units by the end of February.  A majority of these are spoken for (at least 35 of them) so inquire now if you are interested in some.

Please request such to the address noted above directly and do include which specific GPUs since there are multiple types noted in the original posting.

Thanks in advance.

You mean this one here from NewEgg for $719.99 + $5.92 for shipping, limited 6 per customer? 

An additional side note from our distributor regarding shipping internationally.

In some cases, the manufacturer may not honor the hardware warranty if an item is bought internationally due to regional restrictions.  This varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.  If this is a concern, either (1) contact the hardware manufacturer directly and inquire; or (2) consider purchasing the hardware within your country.

Just being up front and honest about this aspect since we have had inquiries about our RMA process and hardware warranties from US based customers.  For these situations, Linux ETC is open to assisting with such (e.g., providing date sales documentation that includes the serial numbers of purchases with us).
