Well, after cancelling my order with MicroCenter since the E6600 went on backorder before my order was processed, I was racing around like a monkey looking for a replacement etailer. Most people are just waiting for a while, but I don't have much time left to overhaul my system since I'm moving, and I need my system up and running. Anyways, did a search for the chip, found this site, checked them out, couldn't believe that the E6600's were in still "IN STOCK - LIMITED QUANTITIES", so I jumped on it. Yes, it was a little more then the standard prices, (around $420 after 2 day shipping, yes lower then Newegg now 
) but I need to get this system built since the rest of the parts are arriving on Thursday. I hadn't recieved a confirmation email after my order was placed Sunday evening, so I was getting kinda worried. I then checked the website again today, and saw that the E6600's are on backorder now till next monday. I sent them an email, and low and behold......IT MADE IT OUT BEFORE THE SHORTAGE! Yea, this pretty much made my whole week.
Oh, just in case anyone else is wondering, the other parts making up the overhaul are:
2GB Corsair XMS DD2-800 RAM
XFX Geforce 7600GT
Roswiell 550w PS
Asus P5B MB
Another Seagate 200GB SATA2 HD
Don't worry guys, it's all about timing.
