Is that what you're lookin' at?

http://ncix.com/search/?quicksearch=digimatrix&imageField.x=0&imageField.y=0

It's in Van.  They're from whom I ordered my Antec Overture (the loudest 
case I ever got;  can I say that enough?) before I got all crazy and 
went all ME6000+pvr350(+250) on it.

Lately their stock numbers are all screwy, in that they may report 
something as in stock or just arrived in stock when really there's 
nothign there and it's all BO BS.  For my PVR250+350, I ordered from a 
shop in Pennsylvania and had it pushed over the border at cost 
instead... but NCIX usually comes with decent recommendations.
