Where to Find i5-3475s in USA?

[idata]

Hi,

I've been trying to find the i5-3475s in the USA but have been having extreme difficulty. I cannot believe how difficult it is to find this processor. It fits exactly what I need for a build. Also, the Recommended Consumer Price is supposed to be $201, but I haven't found anything under 230$!

This is the only place I've found it so far, but it's "On Order," so might not actually even be available!

Please help.

Thank-you,

intel writes in the spec sheet the Recommended CUSTOMER Price is TRAY: $201. They sell this model processor only to system builders who buy in lots of 1000. This is why you can't find the thing in a retail box on a computer store shelf, Amazon, Newegg, etc.

Any help finding one would still be appreciated.

(BTW they are all over European websites to buy!)
