There's a post on HF about this. Someone got through to the Customer Service folks and evidently they're been overwhelmed with orders and you'll either get them, be offered a spot on a back-order list, or have your order canceled depending on when you ordered and how much stock they have.
Note: the IMEs offered for $99 are not the UE10's in the custom sense but are the Triple-Fi 10s, which are very different, universal IEMs.

Just so there's no confusion.
I think there are good and bad places to have PCBs made and the "where" part of the equation doesn't have much to do with it. Imagineering has a proven track record of producing quality boards, that's good enough for me.
That logic doesn't fly with my wife. If I say stuff like that she just says, "Well, that guy is a moron." Thereby implying that I'd be a moron to expect that saying something like that in any way paints me in a better light.
Yeah, you could certainly do it that too and probably save some $$. It'll depend on how difficult the installation is, ours is mounted in the basement and then routed up to the kitchen sink.
They are pretty easy to add after the fact if you're just concerned about drinking water Haj. I think it cost us $700 to have one put in when we bought our house 4 years ago. Shop around though, we got estimates of almost double that.
I've started looking at what it'll take to hardwire my PS3 since wireless performance in my house seems to be not so great and I really do hope to try the Netflix streaming option soon. So when I playback music it's usually off of a thumb drive and that's where the annoying alphabetical syndrome comes from.
Actually one of my mine gripes with the PS3 is how awful it is at handling audio. It sorts tracks alphabetically, wtf is up with that? I've looked and can't find a way to change this in any setting and somewhat surprisingly see very few references to it online.
It is your best interest to at least make someone else do some leg work on it. This refi will end up saving me $100k in interest over the life of the loan.
The company that already holds our mortgage actually offered the easiest program without even asking, they sent us a letter. My assumption is that they are doing whatever they can to maintain their good customers even if it means less $$ for them (lower interest rate, no closing costs, etc.).
