Good job Intel and Newegg for handling this situation quite well.

That's crazy, Dreadlock I hope you got everything worked out. I was considering getting an i7-920, should I not use new egg or is this worked out?

They should send him a 965 to make up for it

 

[ira176]

Get an i7-930, they're just a few bucks more expensive.

You must be under the false pretense that two wrongs make a right

This is why I stopped buying retail because of crap like this learned the hard way from Bestbuy.

You must be under the false pretense that sending him an i7-965 to fix their mistake is a "wrong."

Ohhh my bad. I completely took Shinobis comment as if they should send him a Phenom II 965. Honest mistake, but I really think it could have been interpreted either way...

Seriously dude? Best Buy & Newegg should not even be in the same sentence, Best Buy is a joke, Newegg is a legit company that treats their customers well. Get a clue before you go comparing Newegg to Best Buy...

Sad part is, Newegg will probably charge him a "restocking fee" or something as well. Insult to injury.

I am dying to know how those fakes got in there!

They don't charge restock fees on items they swap out. They will on opened items that are returned and not swapped though.

big friking deal, NewEgg GOT OWNED !!!!

I think what they mean by demo units, are mock up boxes that can be put on display on store shelves maybe? Could be wrong, but just a thought.
