I originally designed this tool for my use only, in order to get a GTX 480 from Newegg. Now that I have mine on order and several users have asked for this tool I decided to add a few things and release it. This tool will constantly check any Newegg product page and see if it is in stock. If so, it will display a message saying so along with a link directly to the product page. This tool runs in the system tray so it does not take up taskbar space while running. It also supports multiple instances as long as they are in separate folders. This tool is obviously BETA so it will have bugs, but it does work quite well.



Instructions:

1. Enter the URL of the Newegg/EVGA/ZipZoomFly product page you want to check.
2. Enter a name for the product (this is only used in the GUI so it can be whatever you want, comes in handy if you are running multiple instances)
3. OPTIONAL: Enable "Start Minimized" and/or "Beep when in-stock"
4. Select which site the link is from
5. Hit apply
6. You can now close the main window and it will run in the system tray.
 
BETA 1.6 - updated newegg.com checking code to work again
BETA 1.5 makes the checks run in a new thread and supports newegg's new layout
BETA 1.4 adds pre-order detection on EVGA.com
BETA 1.3 adds support for TigerDirect.com and changing the refresh interval.
BETA 1.2 adds support for EVGA.com and ZipZoomFly.com. I couldn't add Amazon.com because of the way they do their product pages.

Download link:
Newegg Stock Checker

Please report bugs here if you find any. I am open to suggestions if anyone has a cool idea. It would also be quite easy to adapt this program to almost any online store, but I decided to start with Newegg.

    Amazing job, and +1 for a potential BR. Good luck to all 400 series buyers out there! I'm planning on waiting till the hype dies down a bit and getting me a 460 or something this summer.

    480 Classified ftw! That's the only way I'll get one. MAYBE I'd go for a non HC 480 FTW.

    Awesome App Jedi! This will be extremely useful.

    Yeah, this only works on Newegg right now. It works by checking the HTML for the add to cart button. Since that is site-specific it doesn't work anywhere else. I will update it in a bit with an option to check EVGA.com product pages.

    Updated to BETA 1.2. This adds support for EVGA.com and ZipZoomFly.com. Amazon.com will not work with the method I am using to detect the in-stock status or I would have added it. I can look into adding other sites if anyone has suggestions.

    awesome tool!  but checking once every minute is a bit excessive no? That'll put a large load on their servers especially when several people are using this at once.   I would recommend once every 30 minutes or 10, or even 5 if you're really desperate.

    It only loads the HTML text, not images or scripts. So the bandwidth usage is minimal. I have it set to 1 minute because sometimes that is needed in order to catch it in time. For example, earlier today Newegg had the EVGA GTX 480 in stock for about 5 minutes. This is designed for users who are spamming a page with F5 constantly anyway in order not to miss something being in stock for a few minutes. This is not for users who just want a notification that the product just came back into stock and will stay in stock for awhile (Newegg has their auto notify feature for that purpose).

    According to nowinstock.net, the Evga GTX 480 sold out in 15 minutes on newegg.

    I wouldnt worry about the load on servers either, they are definitely up to the task to handle any extra load. Your computer will cache a lot of things to make sure that you dont have to load everything with every refresh (at least on a standard browser).

    Yeah, the load this tool puts on their servers is insignificant. It's no worse than spamming F5 all day in this regard.

    I am not sure how often nowinstock.net checks the status, so that 15 minute figure might be inaccurate if their refresh time is only every 10-15 minutes.

    This rocks and thanks much. Beats me having to constantly check for email updates from newegg and evga.

    I've been watching to order for a friend of mine, hopefully I can grab one next time they're up (too bad I don't sit on my pc 24/7...)
