Just thought I'd give you a heads up. Dell, after giving me several chances to cancel my order during the last couple months on the 8800GT (ordered along with thousands of others for 208ish), finally shipped the card. I got a shipping confirmation yesterday.
I posted in that 70+ page thread several times that those patient enough would most likely find the pot at the end of the rainbow. From my own epx. I've had this same thing happen with a camcorder I bought at $50 cheaper than anywhere else - took a couple months, and several optional cancelation notices, but eventually got it, and this graphics card will end up being the same.
I'll post back here after I recieve the card, IE - what model it is, in case it's not the original overclocked MSI we all intended to purchase.
Anyway - since the original thread is locked, I can't post the good news there. But perhaps more of the [H] board is getting the same postive e-mail!
Just an FYI, I never once called and complained, nor asked for a shipping discount/whatever. I'm paying the full price and have no regrets as you still can't buy a 512MB 8800GT for this price even several months later, and probably won't be able to purchase one so cheap for some time to come.
