Any chance these will be coming to DS any time soon? I would prefer to buy from DS, but alienware is offering these now on their ALX OCd Hotrod.

Would it be worthwhile for me to swap my overclocked 2x SLI 8800GTX cards for one GTX280?  Heck, what's another few days/weeks/dollars? Wink

I think they release those like a week later, not certain though. Id recommend a 280 GTX over a 98GX2 for ALL NEW builds though. But only if you were deciding between those two, or a 88Ultra i guess too.
 
The 280GTX is only 80+ bucks more vs the GX2 on the DS site, which is on the small side from other sites ive seen. Usually the gap is more around the 150-200 buck range.

The GTX 260 is releasing on June 26th (same date as Radeon HD4850).
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star.

The waterblock for the 98GX2 added about 250 bucks to its total price. So id assume itd be about that much as well with the 280GTX.
