GIGABYTE G1.SNIPER2 (Unable to find)
« on: November 10, 2011, 10:29:46 pm »
Ok so, for the last few months, I've been slowly purchasing my compenents to put together a new gaming PC.  The Sniper 2 was going to be my final piece of the build, however I learned yesterday that NewEgg is no longer selling it.  :'(

Other than hitting up eBay for absurd prices, is there any other retailer anyone can recommend for this purchase?  Is it possible to contact Gigabyte themselves and place an order? Noob type questions, but I don't wan to put any other Mobo in thisbuild except this bad boy lol.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi and welcome.

I am surprised that the Sniper 2 is EOL so early as it hasn't been out that long really. I can only assume it is because the new Assassin2 is due out and will take it's place at the top of the gaming table.

If it is any help the board you are after is available here:
