Damnit Maroon... I was hoping no one would find a better deal than the HD 3870... I guess I got more deciding to do...
But thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Okay, so the guy emailed me saying he has the cash and to call him. I'll probably drop the computer off this week. Should I keep anything in mind when reinstalling the OS and wiping the HD?

Just so you know (if you didn't already), the only difference between the DS3R and the DS3L is the ability to configure RAID. In other words, if you do not plan to run a RAID, get the DS3L.

Also, I dunno which brand of the HD 3870 I want to get, but Sapphire is always sold out. Is GECUBE a good brand?

Also, is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16833180052 a good card? My current one is 54 Mbps all the time, but I sometimes have wireless problems.

Damn, was hoping to keep all buys to newegg.com, but it sort of looks like that'll be hard to avoid. Hows the wireless card look?
