    At 3pm newegg's shell shocker deal is going to be the MSI 9800GT, for $79.99, with another $20 mail in rebate to make it $59.99. Pretty good deal, but remember it goes up at 3pm today. (In 2 hours)

    I bought one. You can also get Call of Duty - World at War with it free. And its free shipping.

    I just checked back - they are sold out already. Glad I hawked the site and bought right away.

    The 8800GT is definitely a good card, even though it is a bit old. I've got one in my desktop, best choice I could have made at the time. Gotta love being able to play Crysis at decent settings, and Oblivion pretty much maxxed out.

    I wasn't planning on buying a Vid card for my quad core until about when school starts, but the deal was right. I definitely was hawking it, and within an hour it was sold out. Very glad I did that.
