Ah well, I ran out of money and the 295 hydrocopper sold for $276 :(
In retrospect I should have just bid more and found a way to come up with the money in the next 3 days, now I am looking at spending over $300 for an air cooled version WTF?
Looks like I will be getting a decent silent midrange ATI card for my main rig and throwing the 4890 back on the i7 instead (oh yah like thats a complaint LOL)
Really wanted to try out 200 series, but them's the breaks. It is really hard justifying the expense on an nVidia card now, since it is all they have out, the prices are not dropping to meet the performance level :( With GT300 not coming out for another 4-6 months probably, I expect there will be no price drops in the near future either.
And yes I am very frugal :p
