Actually if someone can hook me up with the 2700K, I will trade a 2600K + cash for it or something. Because it is just a minor speed bump, Intel doesn't send samples, but it would be good for me to have. Please PM me if you can help out

Let me know if you can help! I'll start asking around, I think I know at least 1 or 2 people who work at LD. I assume you have to be in the computer department?
You can keep all the software and even the heatsink, I just need the CPU
