New ODE V2 Configurations

thx!

just placed an order for the ODE lvl 4 hope its worth it and destroys any game i play and lasts me many wonderful years!

Thanks for the help Alex, order has been placed!  Looking forward to it.

Congrats everyone on the systems..... and

And good news about Ivy chips, at least for us gaming folks

ntel said Tuesday that it would announce its first Core processors based on the Ivy Bridge microarchitecture next week, and the first chips won't be for Ultrabooks, but will be quad-core parts for high-end desktops and laptops.

That's a great question, we really won't know until the specs/prices are updated. Hopefully they stay the same. We'll know by the end of this month.

I see that you just placed your order, you can put your order on hold if you wish, that way we don't build it, etc until the updates are done and you call us back?

I guess the thrust of my question was this: I'm really digging the new ODE V2 Level 4 option right now and will likely be in the market to order such that I have a new comp in time for D3. If the ODE line were to get changed again with the release of the Ivy Bridge processors, and maintains the current pricing scheme it is obviously a no brainer to hold on my purchase. On the other hand, if incorporating the IB CPU's to the ODE line significantly increases costs, I figure I might as well order it sooner rather later such that I can start enjoying it with other games. Thoughts?

ahh idk what to do i talked to a sales person on the phone and he said the performance of the new chip will be the same just a smaller dye idk if thats true but i kept my ode purchase for that, i still have time to put it on hold im sure but any thoughts? cause if theres no difference then no point in waiting

okay i put it on hold lol well see what happens

Originally posted by dits So if want to be sure I don't miss out on this Ode v2 Level 4 (in the case that the prices get bumped with the update to IB), and put it on hold until then? Would that even work? Am I just being crazy?

well i talked to them just a second ago and i explained to him im gonna wait and all that stuff and see what happens when ivy comes out he said it might not even be put in ode maybe a new setup anyways i told him if i dont like the prices or what i see im gonna stick to my ode v2 level 4 so im pretty sure we will still be able to get it unless he forgot to tell me i cant get it later down the road

Next week can not get here fast enough....

I have been looking at the ODE Level 4 also, since it basically has everything I am looking for except 16 GB of ram, and 180GB minimum SSD.  Now all I am waiting on is an update to the Ivy Bridge CPU's and a few reviews to see if there is any benefit of the GTX 680 enabling PCIe- 3.0 when running on a Z77 Motherboard vs a GTX 680 and 2700K on the same motherboard.

Side note too, you mentioned changing the ODE config, wanted to point out there is a $50 fee (plus component cost) to change an ODE. And I think that is per change. So you might get dinged for a $100 for the RAM + SSD. Alex can confirm.

Just checked, Ivy is in the ODE house!
