Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I'm in a similar situation. I'd like to have something within the next 5 weeks. The Sony Vaio Pro 11 is my favorite so far, but was hoping for something with the 5000 over the 4400.

$250 with 3ms seems like a pretty low price. Any opinions on this for general surfing, occassional RTS / MMO gaming?

The ASUS 4550 came in yesterday, popped it in. CCC keeps crashing upon launch (even after uninstall/reinstall) so I can't get temp readings, but things seem positive so far.
I did order the ASUS 4550 , today was the last day to do so and get the $10 MIR, plus the ASUS has a 3 year warranty.
What do you use for Metal cutting?
I went to CCC to check the Sapphire 4550's temps and it ran between 95-110 most of the day watching a couple SD playbacks. Once I put on HD content it peaked at 118. I stepped out of the room to check this thread and the HTPC just shut off after about 30 hours of installation.
I will send...
I popped the fanless 4550 in last night with no issues. Unfortunately, the card has no temperature sensor so I can't get the card's temp, but the rest of the systems' temps are normal. The case gets hot, but it was always hot with my 2400 / 3450 's in there.
The only weird issue I'm having is...

It will be up slotted next to my tv tuner and it has a fanless design. I read deeper on a few user reviews stating it gets hot. Should I be concerned about the heat output...
The only difference I see between the ASUS and Sapphire is the ASUS has a 1450mhz memory bus and Sapphire has 800mhz.
ASUS is out of stock, but the Sapphire will be good enough for me.
