Hi and welcome to the forum.
This is omething that I can never understand. It is the same with the power supplies (PSUs) they are just nearly impossible to get hold of especially in the UK. It's almost as if Gigabyte didn't want to sell them. Maybe they are just so good that they don't want to let them go  ;D

Just frustrating , a product that is so good and has been around a while, and is advertised on the site i would expect to be able to get hold of,
not even the new corsair 800d looks as good as my aurora, ( 800d nly has one rear fan)

Yes that's the amazing thing. All good quality products that they wouldn't have to push to hard to sell and yet you can't get hold of them. :'( It makes it hard on the forum when I am asked to recommend a product  and know there is a good Gigabyte one but have to recommend something else because of availability.

Hi wiggywinger
Thanks very much it will indeed be useful I am sure in the future. I haven't come across this site before but they do actually seem to stock a lot of Gigabyte products. Can you vouch for them?

I can vouch for the links, yes, of course, they are only a search engine, but if ever I need to find a particular item thats available in the UK, its usually listed on there :)

Yes I see now I only briefly scanned the pages and thought it was a retailer, my bad :-[  Still it is very useful and I have put it on my favorites.
