Great deals. But I got my first 4870 512MB for $80 locally and am trying to find another for the $100-$120 range. Prices are dropping fast so I'll be as patient as I can be...

Told you I was cheap

Nice! Me too but im too addicted not to waste money on this thing now! Started out with a measly 9800gt and dual core athlon and now im out of control.
actually after the rebat i think the card will come out to $160

That's a great deal for a 4890. They OC like beasts! If you get a good one and are careful with cooling and voltage you should hit 1GHz core... fingers crossed.

I am only shooting for the 850-900 range on the 4870's if I get them under water. Maybe overly ambitious but ya gotta try...

Looks like you agree with the Antec power calculator. I plugged in my system with some conservative estimates and it tells me 539W. The part that worries me is getting the 12V rails sorted out right. My 750W Ultra has a single 45A rail so maybe I should spend the time swapping it and not haev to worry.
