DEAD - BFG 6800 Ultra Overclocked GeForce Video Card $374.25 @ Dell

The BFG 6800 Ultra Overclocked GeForce 256mb AGP video card is in stock at Dell.com, even though it says 3 weeks to ship, they are shipping within days. This card is also sold at BestBuy and Outpost.com for $499 but they have been out of stock forever, and besides the Dell site has free shipping. Dell is selling the full retail version which includes a lifetime warranty from BFG Technologies.

Manufacturer Part# BFGR68256UOC
Dell Part# A0397194

Dell's picture shows the liquid cooled version but PriceGrabber shows that model has a normal cooling fan on it.

UPDATE: I received mine from Dell and it's the FAN version - not the watercooled version. Dell is showing the wrong photo. The Mfg part number confirms it's the FAN version.

1. You need a 25% off coupon.

Get your 25% off coupon at Dellf by playing their game. You may have to play it a few times to get the randomizer to give you the right code. TIP: You can register more than once. If you don't have the patience to do this, try to bum one off someone else or buy one on eBay. You can do this step in advance as the code doesn't expire until January 5th!

2. You need a dollar off coupon.

STACK IT! The 25% off coupon stacks with Dell's dollar off Software & Peripherals coupons. They run them every so many days but they only work for the first 1500 people who use them in a day, so you will need to get your orders in early! Starting midnight CST 12/5 Dell will have a $45 off $425 coupon (check scoreadeal.com starting midnight cst 12/5) which will make the video card $374.25, the best price it's ever been! If you don't get in on the $45 off coupon, you can find other people selling dollar off coupons on eBay, bum one off someone else, or if you have an Entertainment coupon book there is a $30 off S&P coupon in there that you get by registering your book at Entertainment.com and then by visiting Entertainment.com/dell only after you register though or it will redirect you automatically to their homepage.

3. Free Shipping supposedly ends 12/5 as well, but Dell often renews free shipping offers.

4. FYI - looks like PriceGrabber will also give you a $5 rebate just for writing a product review. You have to submit the UPC symbol with your review to get the $5.
 
Under highlights it states:

Features NVIDIA®GeForce? FX 5700 GPU and 256 MB of DDR memory for high-quality visuals

are all 6800's on the 5700 GPU?
 
note to some: they charge tax in some states, IE illinois. yep, that's where i am.

🙁 hot deal killed for me
 
I cancelled my order and placed a new one at today's price. I spent an hour on the phone talking to I don't know how many people trying to figure out if it was the model with the liquid cooling or fan. Nobody could tell me. They all sounded like they were from India and all they wanted me to do was buy another one from them, even when I told them I already had an order in... so I guess I'll have to report back as to which model it really is when I get it. Oddly enough, my previous ship date was 10/18 and now that I've reordered online with the new price, it's been bumped up to 10/14 so that rocks.
 
$445.15 with today's $35 off coupon...

Still waiting for shipment, supposedly ships in December.

Outpost is out of stock @ $499... the price is worth it if you are willing to camp on a back order.
 
Damn. You can pick this baby up for 384.25 (25% off accessories dellf coupon) with free shipping right now.....goddamn waiting for PCIe...No.....Don't.....Musn't.......

How do you figure 384.25? 😕 The 25% off coupons I see are non-stackable... so that would be about $419.25 ATM.
 
Mine shipped today! Never thought it would of happened. I ordered a Leadtek 6800gt, but had to rma it. I might have to keep this one instead.
 
Yeah, $379 with the 25% off Dellf coupon and today's $40 off $350 coupon. Dell posted a picture of the water cooled version, but I don't think the MFG part number matches the watercooled version. Calling Dell doesn't help as all they will want to do is try to sell you something else because they don't even know... Anyways, it did say until January to ship but I got an email from Dell and tracking number for a DHL shipment, so it is on it's way!
 
Man, after just getting a BFG 6800GT OC for $350 this is really annoying...

Just for kicks I tried the coupon code from your link... no can do, it was all-ready redeamed it said.

Nice price but sketchy deal because you dont have a solid shipping date, so they are not in stock.

if you really want one they can be found for $500 shipped...I mean whats $120 if youve already spend $400?

 
Apparently the $40 off coupon has been removed by Dell for maximum redemptions in a day. The only way to stack this now is if you have another coupon, such as from Entertainment.com/dell - it's valid for $30 off $450 which makes the video card $389.25, get one on eBay, or wait and hope they release another dollar off coupon before the dellf promotion ends or the price goes back up.

$120 IS A LOT ... and for me I was going to buy a 6800 GT for $399 + Tax... but now I ended up with 6800 Ultra for cheaper....
