General Supermicro question

[nicklebon]

I asked this in the motherboards forum but seem to be getting any traction. I am trying to get this stalled project of mine moving before work, wife, kid, aka life decides I need to be working on other things.

I am interested in buying a X10DRH-ILN4-O board to for 2 e5-2683ES cpus. I have contacted Wired Zone and they are OOS and while they think they will get more of these they cannot tell when. I have found a seller on ebay, imicros, selling this board for pretty much the same price as WZ. My concern is I do not see imicros listed as a reseller on the SM website.

If I buy this board from imicros and require warranty or support down the road will SM provide it or tell me to pound sand since the board didn't come from someone on list? If this will be problem any other suggested vendors would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I think you'll be fine. imicros is likely a dba name of a bigger reseller. I doubt SM even can track where the board was purchased.

I think they're just a name for Ma Labs - Leading Distributor of PC Components, Computer Hardware and Software, Servers, Laptop Systems, Digital Signage, Consumer Electronics and more!
Specifically this location:
2075 North Capitol Avenue San Jose, CA 95132

I asked them on ebay if they were Ma Labs turns out they are Superbiiz. This means they are an authorized reseller but there are so many bad reviews about them. Any experiences with them here? The ebay rating isn't bad

Sorry! I used the address found on this page: Contact Us and Google put that at malabs.

I've dealt with SuperBiiz numerous times, never any issue.

Likewise ... just looked back at my Superbiiz order history and 90% of my purchases are Supermicro parts!!

They said they were located in the same building as Ma Labs. Okay well this seems to solve my dilemma. Thanks for feedback.
