EVGA Dual-Slot 8800GT $129 AR at Fry's B&M ONLY

[manko]

Monday, May 26th, Memorial Day Fry's Ad

B&M ONLY. This card is not even listed on the Fry's online site.

I was just at Fry's today and the EVGA 8800GT 512MB for $129 AR is the DUAL-SLOT version! The boxes were marked $229, but the sale price is $179 out the door -$50 MIR.

EVGA Dual-Slot 8800GT

If you don't mind losing a slot, this is one of the best 8800GT deals so far.

Current price at Newegg is $175 AR.

Bought one. Ended up being about $148.35 AR when factoring in shipping and sales tax for OH but still not a bad deal.

AFAIK if you've cut out the UPC code (for rebate), item is non-returnable.

Ya I go a little overboard-my wife calls it a sickness.


Just got back from my second trip to frys today to return a bad board- They had 2 skulltrail boards for 520 bucks each!


Thought these things were harder to get than Hanna Montana tickets.

What is the purpose of the dual slot design... Isn't that a bad thing?

In theory it should be quieter and cooler. More room for heat to dissipate and a more efficient fan design.

They are quieter and cooler.

Larger fan = quieter and more airflow
Larger heatsink = better dissipation
Rear exhaust = hot air is dumped outside the case instead of being recycled internally by your CPU HSF and PSU.
