and pair them up with a pair of 3870's for a
wicked QuadFire rig!!!

I think that's going to be true with any 3800 series purchase. I'll find out later today if this is true when my HIS 3870 shows up. Anyway, NCIXUS is giving away the Valvel Black Box bundle with any 3800 purchase and if you purchase a 3870 from them they are also giving a free Call of Juarez with it. The unfortunate part is that the cost is $239 + shipping.

If you look at the lowest e-tailer on the list (Umart- $499 who are they kidding?) they have only recently put their prices up to this level as when the y first listed they were listed @ $399. Still ridiculous but not stupidly over-the -top going to gouge you for all it's worth.
It's umm....not extreme.
mwave has a diamond 3870 up for $239
but they have the 3850's for $179

whats considered the best brand for an ATI card? and what brand should i stay away from?
Nikon User
Nikon D200 (Gone =( )/D300
Nikkor 18-105mm(Gone) // Nikkor 50mm 1.8 // Nikkor 55-200VR(Gone)
Tokina 12-24 // Tamron 90mm //
Manfrotto & Benro Legs // Benro Ballhead.
Current Lust = 80-200 Or 70-200VR1 <--Pending
No more computer parts for me... Well for now until I
really REALLY need to upgrade.
Dones't really matter because they're all the same really.
All comes down to who offers better warranty. Well with nvidia some offer lifetime warranty, others offer transferable warranty and so on.
With ATI, it doesn't matter because they all offer only 1 year warranty...which In my opinion is a buncha crapshoot.
I still have my 7900GTX card and won't be replacing it anytime soon...it's nice to knwo that it's covered under eVGA lifetime warranty.
Asus P5B-D WiFi
E6300 L626 @ 3.2@ 1.32V
EVGA 7900GTX
Big Typhoon Air cooling
Crucial Ballistix 2x1GB Anniversary
320GB SeagateSATA
Enermax 460W PS
I think Power Color is the only ATI distributer that offers a lifetime warranty. I've read bad things about Sapphire:
http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1234926
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+ @ 3.0GHz||Biostar TF560 A2+||4x1GB Team Xtreem D9s||Visiontek HD3870||WD 250GB||Seasonic SS-600HT
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ @ 2.6GHz||DFI NF4 Ultra-D||OCZ VX 4000 2-2-2-5||ATI X1900XT||Seagate 320GB||Seasonic S12 600
Stay away from Sapphire, they have really bad customer service should anything go wrong.
The little air system that could.
so HIS and Powercooler brands are good?

Yes. HIS knows how to take care of their customers as does PowerColor.
HIS is a little better since they usually make IceQ versions of ATi cards
"To exist in this vast universe for a speck of time is the great gift of life. Our tiny sliver of time is our gift of life. It is our only life. The universe will go on, indifferent to our brief existence, but while we are here we touch not just part of that vastness, but also the lives around us. Life is the gift each of us has been given. Each life is our own and no one else's. It is precious beyond all counting. It is the greatest value we have. Cherish it for what it truly is."
Thnx everyone, now I just need to find a place thats not overpricing these =p

yea you might want to read the actuall thread on the Sapphire hosted Community Forum.
Then you might read that i was actually Alpha Mirco Ltd shop that actually offered him the card.
See thats the thing i had only Sapphire cards and not one thing ever went wrong on them since they are the actuall contractor for ATi cards.
On the warranty side of things most ATi cards come with 1 to 2 year Warranty's, only ASUS ones come with 3 year warranty.
