No.. Look under your chair.....
Holy crap! It was there all along!
Thank you!

No.. Look under your chair.....
We are hoping to have units ready to ship by June 6th. The chassis are way behind schedule. The motherboards are finished and waiting for the chassis.
I was reluctant to respond because people have a way of twisting whatever I say so I will state this "There will be NO guarantees of ANY sort as to availability".
I looked under my chair and all I found was chewed off fingernails, empty Redbull cans, Duncan Donuts coffee cups and burnt up crack pipes.
I thought I'd miss the release and have to wait till after my usmle exam on June 6th to buy the axe II. Now it comes out the same day and hopefully will be to my house before my birthday on the 16th!!!
...and you get a brand new axe fx 2! and YOU get a brand new axe fx 2! and ~YOU~ get a brand new axe fx 2!!!!EVERYONE LOOK UNDER YOUR CHAIRS!!!!!!!!!
yeah, a little confused...i guess this is to get it done before they actually show up to prevent further delays and rabid, angry messages to the shop administrator.June 6th, 'possibly'? Then why put the link in the store?
Thats odd, I look under mine and all I find are x-rays of DSP's.:geek
Gotta say I'm loving watching this.

Hey Liam,
I'm curious, why the need to x-ray the DSP's? Aren't they checked at the factory? What are you looking for? Failures due to the assembly process?
I used to work at Applied Materials in Austin...worked on the Physical Vapor Deposition machines, We had strict guidelines for measuring processed wafers, but I don't ever recall having to X-ray them...even for Intel which had the tightest specs of all our customers...
Just curious!

Hey, that could be my wife you are talking about .... wait, that means I get an Axe II !!!

Translation: Liam's a bad-ass precision board-making mo'foWe x-ray each unit to ensure there is no voiding under the bga’s (ball grid array) At times, when processing such a high technology unit, the balls and the pad on the raw printed circuit board, a small amount of moisture or air can become encapsulates within the solder paste. We use a specific “low void” solder paste formulation, and measure the solder paste height prior to population of the units. These quality control measures make sure there will be no latent defects in the final product. As folks can attest, the units they have been using for years are still going strong. After x-ray we use an ERSA scope to check for cleanliness and complete ball collapse as well.
