The 280 is very large, very expensive, and it'll suck more juice than an A/C unit!

Cuts in price already, apparently they're not selling well :wink:

AHHH !!! HOW MUCH JUICE DOES A AC UNIT SUCK THEN!!!

I'm picking one up soon

Dude? Yer gonna spend half of an entire paycheck on a 280! We're talking 800$+tax.

The only case you could possibly fit it in properly is the Mozart Tt which you have I guess.

I'm using a 4870 on a 430W PSU, I don't think I'd even come close to even booting it up with a 280 in it.

Too bad that NV just dropped their prices to their AIB's, coulda saved some cashola.
AIB wholesale in USD, MSRP in USD, MB's current price
9800 GTX: $165 ($199) MB - $286
GTX 260: $222 ($329) MB - $469
GTX 280: $392 ($499) MB - $671

The 9800 will have to drop close to the 4850 price point ($218 MB) and the 260 is going to have to drop to 4870 levels ($353 MB) to be competetive.
Of course online prices are going to drop a lot faster from places with higher throughput. That's not what we're discussing since most people here *would* buy locally.

The GeForce GTX 280 drops to $449 or 359 Euros

GeForce GTX 260 drops to $299 or 239 Euros

GeForce 9800 GTX+ will come in at $199 or 169 Euro

Could this be another FX5800 sized blunder by Nvidia...

If the 4870X2 numbers hold up, yes. Also NVidia being sued by our favourite standards patenting litigation army Rambus, won't help the bottom line!
