.. 1st, Dont buy a refurb'd card... Did you see this...? If it pukes in 2 1/2 weeks your screw'd... And I didnt read the fine-print, but that might include shipping time too...

2nd, If you've only ever bought one ATI card that was bad Gate (how many did you say you've owned???) how can you say they're poop...? It could be just a conflict with the MoBo... See it now & again at work, in production/assembly... Especially with the new Aopen 915 MoBo...
*I only say not to buy it cause of the warranty... It's shiet... My 9800se is an RMA, but I bought it at my work. So the factory warranty still applies for me, fringe-benefits...
This is really the first PC I've ever built myself with all brand-new parts, 2nd or 3rd counting used stuff/parents computer... And installing mine was pretty easy... ATI-tool & the softmod (
www.techpowerup.com) was all I d/l'd, came with catalyst drivers, sha-blam... 390/315 o/c... works fine 4 me..
