A few days ago, popular tech site HardOCP posted an article that showcased an issue where a forum member received a "fake" Intel Core i7 920 processor (same one I have here).
Obviously this really set a media firestorm due to perhaps some (possible) quick conclusions\confusion that eventually led to some ceast and desist orders (which are now understandable - since most of the facts have been brought to light).
NewEgg (as expected) has stepped up and seems to have done their very best to both fix things with their customers (aka they didn't pull a Toyota), and it seems is cooperating with an investigation (and termination) of its (former) supplier.
All's well ends well right?
Well you know it's all good when your competitors have a little fun at your expense.
Wanted to share what I got in my email inbox today... ;)
SuperBiiz is a pretty good site (I've bought my hdds and a few graphics cards from them - they usually have killer deals on GPUs!). It is awesome that the industry knows how to have fun. Though let's just hope that another company won't get a new egg in the face (Duh Dum Dish!). :)
