I have $230 to spend...the ramsinks are for the uncovered chips on the x1800xt, not sure what they're called, but I heard they get toasty. Here's a pic (they're to the left of the red heatsink. The newer x1800xt revs have 6 instead of 5):

So, should I go ahead? Any objections?
 
Sure, it's a great price, but be prepared:

That's an open-box, so it may be a dud return. Newegg doesn't test all their returns, and you can RMA ANYTHING so long as you don't mind losing the %15 restocking fee.

Also, note that it is an OEM card. I don't think it comes with a warranty beyond 30 days unless you purchase one along with the card through Newegg.

Don't care for warranty. I'll end up selling the card a few months down the line anyway. If it dies on me...oh well :(

And I'm going to overclock it to hell and back, so I'll be voiding it anyway, heh :p

Then buy it. Just don't put the ramsinks on until you find out if it works properly. You'll have to take them off if you return it.
 
If its defective they will not dock you the 15%. I would take that deal also.
 
I'd have a hard time refusing that card on that budget. Hell, it's not too far off from my $500 X1900XT. Go for it. It seems there is nothing to lose!
 
I got a spanking deal in the UK for an X1800XT and its the best money I've spent in ages.
Its a seriously good card, go for it :D
 
I got my X1900XT as an open box from newegg. It took two tries(first was defective), but the second was good. If its bad, you'll have to email or call for them to waive the 15% restocking fee, as long as the item is defective, there shouldn't be a problem doing that. Thats a really nice price for that card. Have fun with it.
