$799 is a whole $200 more than a retail X1800XT...and XT can do 11k on air stock cooler if you tweak it well. If you're planning on spending $799, asus should have what looks to be a PE version of the XT for a price that should be around $699.

He doesn't want the XT, he wants the GTX...
Besides, the XTPE is only 25mhz over the XT, with the same 1.26ns ram... atleast the ASUS one is.

You are probably campaigning for ATI because you are from Canada. :) lol.
These guys want the absolute BAD BOY on the street at the moment and that gotta be 7800 GTX 512.

Another problem is that I have the eXpert remember, better ATI results with the RDX200 CF-DR which I dont have and wont get until bios fixes posting issues.
Lol dammit you guys bought up the Eggs stocks. Smart thing to do would of been to buy from the Egg when thhe price was 700 but it jumped up to 749 or whatever. I wanted rto wait for modded LS...stupid stupid me :slapass:

Looks like newegg eta is 12/15.
Monarch ETA is 11/30 should I pre-oreder from these guys. Never done business with monarch before. I ordered a OCZ Powerstream 600W SLI from them yesterday but that is not due until end of this week so cant see how good they are. I want to make sure I get a gtx 512mb asap but overpaying by $50 when I can wait 8days is stupid.
If they will really have limited quality or a nice shipment on the 30th I am willing to preorder to avoid waiting for 12/15 but I have to be sure I dont want them sitting with my money for 3weeks and me sitting without a GPU.
All of this is pissing me off so much and is making me want to get a X1800 XT but it will suck on expert.
