FYI the card was/is $315 with free shipping and I used a $15 off coupon.

I went for the same deal.

What I don't understand is why built by ATI cards only come with a 1 yr warranty. That makes me very hesitant to buy that card.

My experience with MSI, albeit ancient (ti4200), was a pleasant one. Rebate on that card was mailed about 6 weeks after I sent it in, which is fine in my book. Or just pay with American Express and get them to hound MSI if they don't follow up right away....

Anyway, back to the deal:

Best 1900XT price right now appears to be at mwave, which seems to have pretty good reviews.

Price is $369.90 - $100.00 MSI rebate = $269.90 plus S&H of ~$8 = ~$278 Shipped.

And that's cheap. Newegg has basically the same deal and comes to about $280 shipped. I'm sure you could find similar prices elsewhere just by searching the sites listed on the rebate form, but mwave seems reputable and seems to be the cheapest right now, if only barely....two dollars more might buy you peace of mind at newegg, if that's your thing.

Either way, bump for heat. :thumbsup:
