I couldn't find any shops stocking it, does anybody have any info on how to get it shipped?

Asrock Motherboards aren't widely available in India. Wait for some expert opinion.

They're available in my city

But 80% of the shops don't even know about z68 chipset, leave highend boards!

Never felt the need to inquire.

I just know that they start from 2500/-

Been hanging onto the idea that i may find a piece, especially since its a Z68 @ 4.5k.

They are a split off of asus, originally intended to compete in the OEM market, they make terrific boards at even more terrific prices.

available in binary world
but noidea of warranty

U can buy directly from the Mediaman Infotech. They are official distributor of Asrock boards. Google it and u'll find.

Asrock Z77 Mobos now available at Primeabgb too.

Primeabgb is too costly for ASRock boards. Mediaman gives better offers but by far the cheapest prices are available at local shops in Bangalore.

Of course, Primeabgb is a bit costly but the difference is around 300-400 bucks.
