Just curious because when I ordered my raptor on the 4th, my e-mail said it wasn't going to be shipped till the 7th. When I got home on the 7th it was on my door, but I hadnt recieved any updates.

Correct.... that is what it said, the 22nd. However, it came in the mail today without any notice or anything. I didn't check the status for the last 2 days though.

I'm in the same boat as you... mine's listed as the 25th also. Hopefully we'll get ours within the next few days. :)

Though I can't use it until I order my new mobo and processor anyway, so I'm not in a huge hurry to get it.

Still waiting for mine, though Dell reported my 3% cash back to Fatwallet yesterday, so it may be on its way.

I ordered on the 9th, with an estimated shipping date of July 25.

I just checked my order status, and it now shows as shipped today.

I was also informed by e-mail of the Fatwallet cash back yesterday.

><. Just checked the status on mine and it is still OOS. :p Since I cancelled and reordered on the 12th, I'm hoping mine ships tomorrow or the day after.

I ended up getting the eVGA one from chiefvalue for $550 including BF2, virtually the same price after you take out the BF2. Should be a pretty intense card, still need to find a good psu for it though, im thinking Sparkle...

I don't know that I'd pair "good" and "sparkle" together in the same sentence. Fortron/SilenX for quieter operation, Enermax, or if you have the money, PCP&C.

Correct me if I am wrong, but Fortron IS Sparkle...

Grr...

Was supposed to ship today and I just got another e-mail that they are OOS again and mine now has a new shipdate of 8/2. ><

Honestly if I didnt get the card for $460 I would cancel and buy from another vendor at this point.

I really hate that Dell doesnt get enough stock on items that sell fast. Happened with my 1905FP as well and that was shipped 2 weeks after the inital shipment date. I planned on getting all my parts recieved within a specific time window so I could get my old system out the door to my sister.

guess this is still running. I thought it was over, but I ordered one for $510 (complete with tax and overnight shipping).

used a $60 coupon with the 20% off and free shipping.

hope they have some to ship.
