Mine was finally processed in California and is now heading to Toomim Bros in Washington.
I'm sending mine to Toomim Bros also so post your experiences when things get set up for you. I placed my order on 9/6 so nothing for me yet.
Well it arrived and they set it up fast and it's running right now reporting 4.6ish at Eligius.
I'm impressed with Toomim so far.
I had some SP30s being hosted by them and have nothing but good things to say about them. Really prompt response time to any questions/issues I had.
So it looks like the first day of sales for the first batch have arrived and the difficulty hasn't skyrocketed so I'm hopeful difficulty's not gonna be too crazy.. well until the SP50s are released..
