ATI 3870 from buy.com for $194

[rshanahan]

I just searched and found Buy.com listing the mac/pc card for $194 and free shipping and more than likely no tax. It was showing 'shipping 1-2 days'!

I searched for a coupon and found one for 5% off so I ended up ordering one for $185. Let's see how long it takes.

If you are a NEW buy.com customer there are many better deals (like 10% and such). Just google buy.com coupon

I don't purchase from buy.com anymore. Haven't in a long while because of this:

I'm interested in how well things turn out with Buy.com.
Could you keep us posted?

Thanks.

According to FedEx it's on the truck for delivery on Monday.

Keeping my fingers crossed that it IS what I ordered!

Note I have not had any issues with buy.com since 2002 or so. I have only ordered about twice a year from them, this being my 1st time in 2008, so we'll see.

Yup, unfortunately, mine is plagued with the noisy fan issue (fan runs full speed all the time). Can't really blame that on the store.. it was a sealed, prestine box.
