Subtract the 25% off Desktop Accessories Email Coupon $345.95 - 86.49 = $259.46. They also have FREE 3-5 Day Shipping on Software and Peripherals orders of $49, so you only pay tax in addition to the price.
Also, it may qualify for FatCash (I don't know for sure), if so, that's another 2.25% off, making it $259.46 - $5.83 = $253.63 + tax.
Just wondering if any of you guys own this, can the fan be throttled. I have a 6600GT and ATI x1300 right now and both are just a tad loud. I read that some 6600GT's supported a feature whereby you oculd alter the fan settings via control panel (mine didnt support that feature)

If you get the model number listed on Dell's site, PVT70GUDF7, then you won't have any issues because it's the reference design (I have this one and it throttles just fine).
However, some XFX 7800GTs with model number PVT70GUDE7 (and actually PVT70GUDE3 and PVT70GUDER) have an annoying problem of the fan staying at 100% all the time. Also keep in mind that if you do get an E7 card, it will have a 4-pin molex connector and not a 6-pin PCI-Express connector.
When you guys do get your cards, post which model you got.

yes.. 450MHz/1.05GHz
I don't think it is. It states that it's 400mhz on the website.

Why tax for MI customers? We have a Dell store here?

Might want to hold out even at this excellent price...the X1900 just dropped...with actual availablity as of today! (so it's not just a vaporware paper launch).
Which means that there's no way the current 7800GTX prices can hold...the X1900XTX is already selling about $100 below MSRP...

The 400MHz mentioned on the website is the RAMDAC. This card's core is actually clocked faster than a 7800 GTX core (but with 4 less pipelines), from what I read HERE:
A gentle soul (marksj) gave me the coupon and with a $50 concession total came to $218 shipped.
Not too bad.
Thanks OP and thanks marksj

I'd love to know how you get on the small business coupon listserv. I've tried signing up and never get 1 time use coupons. Also, love an extra 25% one for this deal.
Thanks!

I think Dell has distribution centers across country. One in CA no doubt.

Mine will arrive tomorrow. I'm planning on using this card on my Compaq SR1710NX with the MGE Vigor 450W PSU that only puts out 17A and not the 20A as suggested by XFX. Also, my mobo only has a 20 pin connector and I've heard some people say that you need a 20 - 24 pin connector to run PCI-Express. Do you guys think this will fine or should I get a better PSU and the 24 pin connector? Thanks...
