These 8-hour offerings seem pretty good. LMK if you think otherwise.

XFX PV-T71G-UDF7 GeForce 7900 GT (470MHz) 256MB for $239.99 AMIR of $30. $6.67 Three Day Shipping

Zipzoomfly.com has the same deal with free shipping.

No, no they don't (searching "PV-T71G-UDF7" pulls up a card for $320). And anything of a decent price+MIR (like the evga KO) is OOS anyway.

I should rephrase it, they had a similar deal with free shipping.

Ah yes, I remember the good 'ol days when Newegg would have free fedex express saver shipping on just about everything. *tear*

Those were the good 'ol days when Newegg.com was 10-40% cheaper over the competition on every item they had in stock. Newegg.com in recent days has started getting more expensive, espcially on Asus Premeium Motherboards.

Well, I ended up going with the evga KO simply because of the better HSF and my continued readings of good CS. Hopefully I won't have a problem. It was somewhat impulse for me, but I was just tired of agaonizing over which brand and for what price, blah blah blah. I figure, after rebates, it's a paltry $25 difference. I think I can eat that and be happy. Plus I get a free version of the new Hitman with registration at evga.com, which interests me more than Tomb Raider with the XFX cards.

The sole reason to buy eVGA is for it's uncondional warranty.

ya know, i was going to buy the 7900gt until i read about all those people having problems with it. i don't want to deal with that headache. i'll get the x1800xt 512mb instead for a few dollars more. in many benches it scores better.
