LOL, there's just no winning for MC here is there? They did exactly what they are suppose to do and still you hate them.

I'd say keep both, or, sell the E4500. You should be able to turn a profit at that price.

I received the shipping notice at 12:41pm CST, just 10 minutes after I got an E2180 cpu from Newegg. I bought the E2180 two days ago because I thought microcenter would eventually cancel my order. I called microcenter before I made my purchase of E2180. They told me they had no idea when or whether my order would be fulfilled.

Now here is a dilemma: If I return the E2180 to Newegg, I have to paid 15% (~ $13.5) restocking fee + return shipping. Or I can cancel/refuse the delivery of the E4500 from microcenter. What should I do? Which one is more overclockable?

Should have bought the e2160.

I was going to order five Intel E4500s for $99 but Microcenter pulled the item from the site. What do I do now?
Are there any other good replacement CPUs or other deals? I'd like each CPU to cost no more than $130.My ZipZoomFly order was canceled because of some address problem a while ago. I ordered the five motherboards from Newegg instead and they came this week.

I called 1/3 of all the Micro Centers in the country to find stock for the E4500. Out of 1/3, the Micro Center in St. Davids, Pennsylvania had the most, which is also the closest. St. Davids had 11 in stock at the time I called. I reserved 5 and drove over 60 miles immediately to pick them up.

I'm lucky I was patient and waited for more inventory to come in for instore, so I ended up paying $100 per CPU instead of $30 more elsewhere for the E4500.

I'm happy.
