You bought it?

[zeus]

Yep.

It is huge. 2 slot card. But it is quiet compared to my XFX 6600. I can barely tell that my computer is running when it is idle. I would imagine if I take the OC off of my E6300, it would silence it even more.

This would be 274.70 with tax and delivered to my door. Is this good enough of a deal for me to buy now or should I wait for the 8800 GT or black friday?

At this point everyone should probably just wait for the new 8800 GT and 2950 Pro to get released and see how they affect prices for the 8800 GTS's, assuming you'd still want that over the new cards. Rumor has it that the 8800 GT will sell for between $180-250 in 256 and 512 MB versions. The 2950 Pro is liable to be near the top of that price range. Also, the new cards might consume less power, which means they'll be easier on your rig, generate less heat, and possibly even lower your electricity bill.

Current machine is, but I'm in the process of building a new one.

the new cards ARE affecting prices. Thats why these are coming down now.

I agree that theres more room to drop though, and dont forget BLACK Friday isnt too far off now, lots of deals even come out pre turkeyday.
