According to the main thread covering "G" series on another forum, G5s are out of production. G7 pre-orders are going in, but production will be limited to ~37 units! Price? Just short of $300.

According to the Swiftech website, you can now order a rev.2 storm. Between the original "surge" in buying, then lull in sales; coupled with letting stock go for revisions... many e-tailers have just stopped stocking it. Your best bet for the Swiftech one is probably going to be them, or one of their major partners. If you want a G5, your going to have to look hard for someone selling theirs (rare, though maybe one of the lucky G7 owners?).

He said only 250 being made.

Ah, so he has increased his manufacturing amount in the last few weeks! Must be the response was over-whelming!

edit:

I find this link a bit different in what you are claiming... and I know he's only been back from India for a few days... http://forums.overclockers.com.au/sh...9&postcount=78

"I have a final price now fixed. Machinists rang me up yesterday.

Final cost price to me, and for anyone who wants one will be: $310

I have enough silver pieces to make 35. I actually have 4 silver pieces spare, but some plates are likely to get "chewed" in the machining process, so I'm estimating 35 will be successful, and as for the other 4, we'll just have to see how they go.

Will work on updating the web-site soon with some more info.

So 35 only. Maybe 39 if we're lucky. I can tell you right now, these will honestly be the last CPU blocks that I ever get made up and available for anyone again.

I may still consider GPU blocks, but don't hold me to it."

There are no other updates to the thread concerning the amount of manufacturing?
