I noticed they have preorders, however they appear to be rather "new" on the block, and well the reseller ratings came off fishy too. However if EVGA at least recognizes them as an authorized seller I'd havea  little more faith in them, and possibly pre-ordering from them. So I hope an EVGA rep can speak up on this and let us know? Thanks :)

    Well, I am obviously not an authorized EVGA rep, but that site was listing preorders back in January.  I believe most people feel the site is not legitimate.  Shorty after they showed up listing preorders nVidia released a statement saying no sites claiming to take preorders at the time should be considered legit.

    Nope, not an authorized EVGA retailer, so EVGA could deny you warranty if you bought from SabrePC.  Most likely a phishing site, I'd keep an eye on your card statement for a few months (years) if you ordered from them, as already mentioned this was the site that was listing bogus GTX 480 pre-orders months ago for $680+ with all the usual tabloids and ati fans linking to it as if it were gospel.   Not worth the hassle and potential of losing warranty for saving $10.  Even if they get product, it won't be before any of the more established partners.

    Here's a list of official EVGA partners: http://www.evga.com/products/WhereToBuy.asp?t=Online

    Somebody on another forum pre-ordered through Saber and they billed him the full amount for both cards within minutes..
    He was unable to make any contact with the company.

    Sounds pretty unlegit to me..  Especially since they originally had the wrong prices for the cards.

    I did like the reviews under the first Sabre PC GTX 480 pre-orders.  Stuff like "Running 8 of them in OctoSLI, blew out 10 monitors" and "My wife left me, but it was worth it!" come to mind.  :)  Not exact quotes, but was some amusing ones.  Pure trolling, but good comedey relief too. 

    Now if Sabre PC is legit, who knows.  But their initial pre-order makes me very leery of them.

    Wow the reseller ratings are so fake. Each review from an account created that day or a few days before each reviewer only reviewed the one site and all pretty generic talking about the employees knowing about the products and how helpful they are. I wouldn't give them a dime

    Ok. You stand corrected. Buying from SabrePC would basically be the same as buying from a local shop. They like the local recieve their products through channel distributers which are considered genuine products and can be registered and warrentied. That being said means one can buy from them and either handle an rma through them or through evga if registered. That's basically what WShelly was saying.

    This company is a complete scam. They do sell products, they are just used, repackaged, or not supported. I've got a suit about to be filed in small claims court against them. We cannot even find the Corporation registration / DBA certificate of the company.
     
    Here's my experience:
    We purchased
    4 of WD RE 4 TB Enterprise Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA III, 64 MB Cache - WD4000FYYZ
    Sold by: SabrePC
     
    All of these drives began failing in the last week (approximately January 18). One has completely crashed and the remaining three are throwing smart errors and bad sectors increasing. The MTBF for these drives is over 1.2 million hours, so the fact that they are all failing now is problematic.
     
    They are covered under a five-year warranty. We purchased the drives on July 25, 2015, so they should be covered until July 25, 2020. We've contacted WD who stated that since SabrePC is the OEM distributor, we have to request the replacement through them.
     
    Sabre denied our OEM replacement request saying they did not ship these drives. The only problem is we tag every drive we receive with the purchase location and original serial numbers. These drives were the ONLY model we had shipped to the specific site, the actual only time we even purchased this model of drive. We typically use WD Red, but this site had a requirement for a higher MTBF.
     
    Furthermore, to prevent issues we even take a picture of when the drives arrive along with the original packaging and serial numbers, which show they came from SabrePC.
     
    Lastly, they are the only vendor we ever purchased this model of a drive from, so it made it very easy for us to track down.
     
    Serial numbers removed by Moderator.
