Epox store site down (gone??)

Hasn't been up for several days. I get a strange error message (see below)
rather than the typical 404 error. They had virtually no inventory anyway
so maybe they just gave up. As soon as I stop posting to this board, it
will be dead too :-)
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

Timeout expired

/Default.asp, line 15

I think that's some sort of server error; I get the same thing on their
USA website; the global site seems OK. BUT...........

I came across this last week:

http://techreport.com/onearticle.x/12539

a report about EPOX shutting down. I was unable to verify this
anywhere else.

It means their database went belly up.

It's back up to date but every mobo I'm interested in (socket A with nForce2
or KT600 or later chipset) is out of stock. Based on this report I doubt
I'll be getting an Epox refurb.

Epox has bit the dust!
