Is this still available or was it sold already?

Crapdragons, I really wish I had seen that colossus earlier. If that guy finds himself short on pocket change you may have a backup ;)

UPS hates working. I hate UPS. By the transitive property I love working? Anyway, it's not unlikely you could get your package by Wednesday. Assuming the departure from Portland was by plane it could arrive in whatever large facility they have by noon today easily. They process it by the end of...

There was a re-release of new 5850s for $150 a piece. Sadly they are sold out at the moment, but if they can go new for that price I think its fair to go lower for used. Thanks anyway.

I could do like 270 for 2 5850s.

Damn these forums are hardcore, got dropped to page 6 in 5 hours.

I imagine the biggest hassle would be a factor as well. In my experience those pre-built systems can be a bit of a nightmare to deal with upgrades, and when you upgrade a processor it only benefits you to upgrade big (sidegrades are often a waste of money performance wise). So I would vote for...

I'm looking to pick up any extra 5870s / 5850s or 5830s you might have lying around collecting dust or taking up valuable slots that might be getting used by the latest generation of GPU, so shoot me a PM if you're looking to unload one :)

You are a lucky guy! :) A 400Watt PSU would likely be able to handle your system with relative ease. so you are way above the mark there. Your PSU is also a pretty good quality one to boot, so while I wouldn't want to, you might even be able to squeeze out SLI from that thing. Just food for...

I don't know that much about the lower end TR2s, but the general TR2 line has a notoriously bad reputation, and I would suspect that the lower end cheaper models are no different. I would shy away from most thermaltake PSUs, with the exception of the toughpower series (there's another one but it...

Yay good to hear. A shame there isn't pre-release stuff given out, there was a sale on pre-orders for H100s for $100 a a little while back, and since that's the price of an H70 seemed like a pretty good deal, but I'm still shying away until I can see that these closed-loop coolers can bring it.

That's odd, I'd usually heard good things about Asus. I had to RMA an MSI board, and the whole process took me like a week, and MSI is usually not considered as good as asus even on such matters. If you swap the board with the same board it will be the easiest, but if you really don't want to...
