    It's $270 by following the link provided
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16824014105&CMP=AFC-Bensbargains

    Incidently, I noticed by looking at the Samsung LCD's that the 20" wide aspect screens are cheaper than the regular screens by about $70

    Not sure what #1 is talking about.

    This tuner uses your computers processor to encode, you would be better served by getting a tunner that has a built in encoder chip.

    #2 speaks the truth. :p
    No hardware encoding. Sad

    #1 posted to the wrong deal - he meant the 20" BenQ deal underneath this deal. He also doesn't seem to understand the concept of coupon codes such as: "$70 code BENQFP202W9403"

    This is one of the best TV tuners out there. I had the Winfast ones and it couldn't come close to software or overall quality.

    Honestly, the more I think about it, the ROI on this card is better compared to the 8800. Unless you are going to upgrade to Vista and run the new Crytek game is all its glory, two of these cards in SLI are a much better performance bargain than an 8800. This will not be the same equation in January so only upgrade now if you can't wait....

    I just bought the EVGA version last week at newegg for 165 after $20 rebate and thought I got a heck of a deal, most of these cards are priced 189 and above. Best bang for your buck card you can buy according to my research! Hitman: Blood money came packaged with my EVGA card too for what its worth.

    evga has the best warranty in the business though. id rather spend the extra 15 bucks with rebate because you know if anything goes wrong the nice people at evga will be more than willing to help you out.

    Good card for the price, but might be better to hold out for a 512mb card at this point. I feel like this card acts more like a stepping stone for a better system than as something that will delay the need to upgrade for awhile.
