5870XT Availability
I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a new PC, after reading your magazine for a long time. I had opted on this PC after your great review, however, having contacted 'MeshComputers' a number of times since the week before Xmas, I am still without a PC !!
The supplier keeps saying that they are waiting for new stocks of the 5870 graphics card, but can supply me with the lower spec, and I must say higher price, Mesh Matrix II 5850XT model. Would you be able to use your clout to push MeshComputers to see what is happening with this PC ?
I see now, after all this waiting, that it has in fact been knocked off the 'A list by the Chillblast Fusion. I kind of wonder if some of teh reason is not down to the fact that no one can actually buy the Matrix pc ?? I do like the sound of the Chillblast, however, when you take into consideration the cost of a Screen, Keyboard/Mouse, Speakers, additional hard disk space and a Blu-ray reader, the difference is quite substantial !!
I am very surprised not see any comments for this PC either, as other people must be experiancing the same issues as myself.
Thanks in advance, from a long-term avid PC Pro reader.
