Good find, but unless you are looking for a Canadian seller, I found and posted what I consider a better deal (except for warranty period, as I believe Sapphire has a Lifetime Warranty). I'm talking about the HIS Excalibur X800 XT IceQ II 256MB at Super PC Mart for $570.00 (US).

Super PC Mart is out of stock on the PE (Platinum Edition) but there is only a minor difference in core and clock speeds between the PE and non-PE versions (PE runs 520Mhz core and 560Mhz memory; the non-PE version runs 500Mhz for both core AND memory. Performancewise, there is only about a 3-5% difference.

For those of you who are not familiar with the HIS Excalibur X800 XT IceQ II 256MB the card is really an ATI BUILT X800 XT with the Arctic Cooling ATI 4 system installed. I have the PE version of this card, (HIS Excalibur X800 XT IceQ II PE 256MB) and you can see the ATI stickers and serial number on the back of the card.

Theoretically, the system vents the hot air drawn off of the GPU out the back of the PC case, helping to keep the ambient (case temp) down as well as cooling the GPU better than the factory HSF. It seems to work pretty well, and is dead quiet to boot.

Here is the link to the Super PC Mart page. As of this post Super PC Mart has 6 left in stock.

BTW, if you must have an X800 PE (Platinum Edition) I would check with Bigfoot to verify the X800 XTs' they are CURRENTLY selling are really PEs' (520 core speed, 520Mhz/1.12Ghz memory speed). The "Special Note" about "different versions" of the X800 XT and X800 XT PE they have posted on their web site is OBVIOUSLY OUTDATED, as everyone knows there are now both PE nad non-PE versions of the X800 XT.
