The other main reason for me is water block. The Toxic is reference and can use 6950/6970 water blocks. I could not find full coverage water blocks for other cards. If the toxic didn't come back in stock I would have purchased a Sapphire 6970. I am upgrading from an OLD 8900 GT that is...

Yeah, it was only about 4 hours. I have been hitting refresh for a week. Anytime I was at a computer I was hitting refresh once an hour. Good thing I work in IT so I have access to computers all day. I placed my order at 2:03 CST. I was worried because this morning the card went to...

That was fast, they are gone now.

Ordered and shipped already! OP - I have been looking for this card for 2 weeks. I even called Newegg, Tigerdirect and Sapphire. No-one had any information as to when they would be available. Sapphire said "on shortage".

No I have not received it but I don't expect it to be here within a week. If I don't have it in another week I will start asking questions. UPS cannot even get something to my house from within the US in a week (of course they suck!).

Just ordered 1 for my second PERC 5/i.

I have to agree on the RAID card. I have been in IT for 13 years and there are NO companies selling good servers with HighPoint RAID cards in them. Switch to a good card. I really like the Dell PERC cards (LSI based) but I don't know if any of them go to 12 drives without extenders which I...

Do you mind sharing your geektool code for the music desktop display?

Mine too!!! :)

As long as you go with LTO you will be fine. All the major backup software support LTO technology.
