Thanks man! $224 shipped in California. Best price anywhere. Probably have to wait until the 25-30th like everyone else for the MSI cards to arrive to the vendors unless Dell has a special arrangement.
Already have a refurb Zalman Fatal1ty FC-ZV9 VGA Cooler that i picked up for $25 on ebay. Plan to flash with the evga SSC 700/2000 bios or even a higher custom one. Can't wait! =)
Warranty? Looked around and didn't see any mention of it.
Just cancelled NCIX & ordered the Dell....I hope it ships soon.:up:
This almost makes me want to go SLI, get a new mobo, etc. But then again, nah. ;)
I heard it was 2 years
Tack on a whopping $32 for taxes and shipping which brings it to 240.23 for me here in Calie, yet still, it IS cheaper then anywhere else and it's even factory overclocked a bit to give it a running start. :) Nice find, thanks.
EDIT: Scratch that, a quick double check on shipping calc. found that it defaults to Next Business Day for $16 bones. Set it to standard and it's only $4.99. Total is now $223.07. Peachy -- ordered. :) -- Gimmeh!
msi has a 3 year warranty on there graphics cards. so thats not so bad.
I just saw 8800 gt's locally for 299-319 depending on the model (and yes they are in stock)... I was bummed cause I don't feel like spending that much.
This has got me thinking though... but it does say 1-2 weeks until it ships.
I'm trying to hold out.
Does anyone have experience with dells "1-2 weeks"? I NEED a card before christmas (gift) so...
:confused: Ordered today and my estimated ship day is 12/10/07...but for the price I can wait...Quote:

Keep us updated if it ships early, im wanting to order this on the 3rd. At least someone is selling this at the correct price :p:
Just ordered one to replace this x1900xtx!
Ill say this again about Dell.
Dell ship times are in no way "correct"
Just cross your fingers and hope. Maybe it will ship soon, maybe it wont.
If you just ordered now... there are probably 5000-10,000 orders in front of you. Good luck with that.
$224 delivered & overclocked to 670?! That's all it took for me to take the plunge. I've been very happy with MSI in the last few years...
Your name is blue, so I will go with what you said. :)Quote:

But, it's released, and a good deal.
I will replace my 8800GTS 640mb with either the G92 8800GTS 128-shaders, any 9000-series card (nVIDIA), or an R700 ATI card.
Whatever is the best come January.
Oh man I'm about to pull the trigger on this...
I just hope Dell has some sort of real-time inventory control, otherwise I can see this ending up badly for some people. :shakes:Quote:

the link doesnt work no more so they must have sold out of the pre orders. well i guess we sit and wait now. good luck everybody hope we get sooner then 12/10.
thats still good deal just not as good:D
not a bad deal...
haha, i just have a lot of experience with dell. Company I work for -- we buy a LOT of dell crap.Quote:

You may get it sooner, or later, eventually it will arrive. Dont forget you can easily cancel via online Dell chat.
Hope this helps!
im praying for the latest being the 10th or even sooner but i have no problem waiting since it will be worth the wait. the price to performance ratio is just crazy for this card so ill wait and be happy.:D
Seems the page is gone...
dam, i really would get it if it was still up. i have a $30 off thing from dell, so this thing would have pwned at $179
The XFX version is still up @ $234.68. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=A1350995
It's baaaaaack
Jump on it while the jumpin's good...
whats the shipping time on these?
This sucks, its so tempting. But i don't know if i should wait to see what the price is on the new GTS :(
look up six posts from yoursQuote:

dell CS rocks! i found out i can get 6% off from my company for accessories, and i had a chat with one of their reps. although they could not comply with my original request of having the 6% nocked off the purchase price. it looks like they can issue me a $20 credit to my original payment once the card arrives to my doorstep... thats way better than 6%!!!!

i picked up another one for 207 earlier today from dell. good deal

This is all I've read from people around the internetz after they contacted Dell CS today. :shakes:Quote:
... your order has been cancelled because we no longer carry that item...
UPDATE: I just called Dell CS, they told me the same things that are in the first and third quotes above. I told them I'll wait.
Mine is still there so we will see.

Ikjot Kaur I would like to inform you that this order is no longer manufactured.
2:12:55 PM Ikjot Kaur I suggest you to please re-order some similar product.
2:13:10 PM Ikjot Kaur The amount which was charged on this order will be released within 48 to 72 hours I suggest you to speak to sales they will give you better options.
2:14:13 PM ME That is very unfortunate. Actually the item is manufactured still, just widely unavaiable due to unforseen demand from what I've learned.
2:14:48 PM Ikjot Kaur I apologize for the inconvenience.
2:14:50 PM ME Are you saying that Dell does not expect to get any more in stock at any time in the future?
2:15:10 PM Ikjot Kaur That's correct.
Not thrilled with this response I then phoned Dell Sales and was told that contrary to what I was told by online support a card would be shipping for me on the 10th and my order had not been canceled. I guess I'll see what really happens on that date then make harder choices at that point of it remains vapor.
yes.. yess. now all i need is 60k more people to go ahead and cancel their orders, and perhaps i may just get mine in time :rotf:
seriously, that really sucks. i am thinking of cancelling, but a 88gt for under 200 is such an effing deal. i just hope dell doesnt pull a fast one and cancels my order because they dont carry them anymore.
Your order will typically stay in production -- they will eventually fulfill it.
When your expected ship date passes for the second time, you will get an email saying "action required, FCC requires that we get your consent to continue your order"
Just follow the directions or they will cancel your order.
Hope this helps.
GEFORCE 8800GT PCIE 512MB-DUAL?DVI TVOUT OVERCLOCK
Revised shipping date: 12/17/2007
=(
*ponders a way to run dual-GT's alongside his dual-HD3870's*
:shock:
EBL
Same thing happened to me with my HD3870. They had it in stock, I ordered, then they say it will ship on 11th Dec (this was two weeks ago). I tried the online chat BS and they cut me off, so I called and asked about my order. The dude on the phone was not specific, so I just canceled and snagged one from ncixus.com. Got my card in 4 days!
Those who ordered with me from Dell are still waiting. :(
yup. ETA = who knows.Quote:

I got call from dell saying it could be dalayed into january because of the manufacture. He give me the option to cancel it, i did doh'. My 3870 should be here wednesday, it shipped from newegg today.
Combing through all the forums with a thread concerning this deal, I found two people who say they've received their card. And Dell sent one person an EVGA not an MSI card because they said thats all they had for stock.Quote:

Most of you arent going to get anything.... Not anytime soon thats for sure.
i waited over 2 months for my 8800 GTX, i got in on a sale where they actually sold it for retail!! lol. and then all the sudden the "usually ships in 2-3 weeks" turned into 2-3 months.
if you ordered one and you havent gotten your order cancelled then it may not, but you wont see the card for another 2 months atleast.
good luck all.
I got an email today changing my est. shipping date from 12-12-07 to 12-19-07.
Hi guys, try and bare with me here, bit of a lengthy story but I hope it can help the rest of you that were in a similar position as me:
Well, my order got cancelled "as per my request" according to an E-mail I received, 2 days before the estimated ship date (the 10th). Having done nothing of the kind I immediately called them and called foul. Basically told them they needed to make this right, so finally they found an EVGA SSC for $120 more that was in stock. Well turns out that what was "In stock" on their Customer Care screen and what was "In stock" when it came to putting the sale through were two different things and the actual sales inventory system said 'Not until mid March' So much for that... I call today, this time to sales to have them find a card that IS in stock for real. They find the 675 OC version of the EVGA which rings out to a whopping $379.00 before taxes/shipping. In the end, I got them to agree to kick in $120 on their end towards the card w/free next-day shipping, and an additional $60 or so on my end for the new card. With supply and demand being what it is that worked for me, I'd rather have the EVGA anyway and now I'll get it before Xmas. :) Good luck to everyone else.
I don't fully understand your post. What was the total price you paid for the evga 8800gt ?Quote:

Total came to around $225.
Emailed Dell customer service today to see what they could offer as far as other 8800gt's in stock. Since the MSI card is an OC edition, I suggested they should replace with an OC edition, but we will see...
well. i got off the phone with dell and they mentioned that it's back in stock, and it should ship before or on the revised ship date. but that was an hour ago. im gonna see if they say the same thing on dell chat
JUST got this:
My original ship date was yesterday.Quote:

GeForce 8800GT 512 MB GDDR3 Gr aphics Card Revised ship date: 01/16/2008
ok, second time now. same answer
first rep on the phone mentioned that they received stock of the msi 8800gt today, and they will start shipping.Quote:
Agent (Savitha Shetty): "I have researched on your order and see that, your order is in production stage and although we had anticipated being able to ship your order sooner, we are experiencing an unexpected delay and we will not be able to ship your order until Wednesday, Decem"
ber 19, 2007 .
Agent (Savitha Shetty): "Thank you for your co-operation in assisting you better to your satisfaction and please be assured that I have provided you with accurate shipping dates."
now this rep mentioned that everything is go, and it will ship by the 19'th. i hope their right!
I just talked with one guy who said they got 3600 of 'em in, and they'll be going out on 12/17-12/19ish to fill the backlog. He did say that the system noted that there weren't enough to fill all the backlog, but by how much it did not specify.
I called them and was told mine would ship on the 17th.
funny thing. i told my friend about this deal as soon as i read about it. we placed orders on the same day (mine a couple hours before his), and he got a totally different e-mail. apparently his new estimated date was 1-11-08! mine was mentioned to be shipped on the 19th. he talked to the reps and he was told that they wont have any more in for him until atleast his estimated ship date! looks like i got in just before they started cutting people off!
Mines still in limbo, is the GTS going to be better? Im thinking about cancelling just because the new cards will be out in a few months I think.
The GTS512 is a better card but for $208 it's hard to pass up the 8800GT
Next gen probably in Feb., and the GTS is faster.Quote:

They say all they've got now in stock is the pny 600mhz clock one. 1-2 weeks shipping - I've heard that b4. Sorry Dell, you've lost another future customer. :down:Quote:

Nice way to do business Mr. Michael Dell :)
Bought a BFG OC 8800gt off of ebay for $250 shipped. Will flash to the OC2 or SSC bios after slapping a zalman fatal1ty cooler that I also got on ebay ($24) on it. Couldn't justify $359 pretax/shipping on the MSI 512mb 8800gts @ clubit even though it comes with a 730mhz clock and probably overclocks to 800mhz...
I just spoke with a dhell agent yesterday named "christopher" (india) who said my order would ship today.
Then I got a call saying it was delayed until the 28th. That person transfered me (from india) to the home office where I was put on hold forever.
I eventually spoke with "christopher" again who gave me a definite maybe for the 28th. dhell service, or lack there of sucks.
are you guys not reading my posts?
This should be expected guys. I tried to warn you.
You were right. :hitself:Quote:

It is what it is... getting angry doesnt help.
I love the people that rant off about "how Dell lost them as a customer" until the next Geforce 9800GTX is 200 dollars cheaper than anywhere else... and magically they order from Dell again.

thats fact like it or love it dell is NOT the place to be buying hardware
the 8800 GT for the cheap price was a mistake that is why it didnt last and was infact removed from the website.
Well they said I had to call them or log in to my order thing to continue with the order, which I did..........and now its cancelled.
This was my first and last order. Dell gave me a sex lesson...don't f with them.
you missed the 30 dollar fuji camera today, hahaQuote:

So I just got done with this HASSLE..........
They are going let me purchase the ASUS one, which is the only one in stock for the MSI price...Its 239 right now, once I then get it I would call back and get a 30 dollar "refund" to make it 207 and a discount on shipping as well.
Sound like a deal?
Only if the 1-2 weeks processing time is for real. Let us know if you get your November ordered card by Xmas, lol..Quote:

my MSI 8800GT is delayed yet again...wtf
I don't understand why you guys sound so surprised...it happens every single time they have a crazy good deal, and people have continuously warned you guys about ordering from them.
Order cancelled on 12/10/07 - no refund posted yet...
Never again Dell, never again...
