    So I got mine setup. It is really nice once you get the calibration correct. I actually left the displays hardware settings default and used my nVidia control panel to adjust the brightness/contrast/gamma.

    [OOS] BFG GTX260 OC - $200 AR + S&H

    $233.73 shipped / $213.73 AR. I just hope I can place my registration in time to get the bundle before they run out of them. It will be upgrading my Powercolor 3850 256MB card. Quite an upgrade and I can probably sell my 3850 to someone at work for $50 - $80 bucks and offset the cost even more.
