lol not just an ATI pimp, I do it with all the hard to gte hardware I can. I went through a phase of buying all the BH-5 I could afford from people on Ebay who were selling it and didn't realize its value. On one occasion I sold 1.5GB of Mushkin BH-5 to a guy in Belgium for £460, then a few months later sold another 1GB of Corsair BH-5 for £350. Theres a killing to be made in buying and selling computer parts I tells ya. Only thing that stops me making a mint is I cant afford to buy things in bulk, like the ATI X800XT's. Mind you after I told me dad about it all and he saw me take the cash off that guy last night he said if I see a good oppurtunity he may lend me the cash. So im on the scout for some X800XT's bigtime.

My impatience got the better of me ... sorry ATI but I've just purchased the 6800GT :-(
Which model did you get? PCWORLD component centre is selling the BFG 6800GT OC for £265! Think im gonna order one and see how good it OC's then sell my PNY 6800GT (that maxes out at 410/1100) on Egay, should get about £300-ish for it seeing as stock is pretty scarce now.
Jesus i've just worked it out and ive realised my last few upgrades (3400+, 6800GT etc) have been essentially free due to various wheelings and dealings. If I can keep it up ill be able to upgrade whenever the heck I like.

I went for the Aopen one (only one in stock at PCWorld) ... still a reasonable price:

Reviews fairly well on here too :-)
Hmm yeah it doesnt look bad at all mate, only a tenner more than the BFG. I've seen people getting 230Mhz+ core on the BFG though, thats whats tempting me to order that and wait a week. Knowing my luck i'll get it and it will struggle to 390/1100 and then i'll be right up the ****ter.

My X800XT arrived today.
Comes with a good bundle as well, Prince of Persia and Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow.
Right off to build my new Shuttle system.
bouncin wipes the tears from his face and tries to look happy every1 else is gradually getting their cards.
but unbenownst to every1 else he is hatching an evil scheme to corner the x800xt market muhahahahahahahah.
but still having trouble getting 1 for himself so the plan will have to go on hold
Hello Chaps. As much As I hate to end your business rich dog and I hate Overclockers but they will be receiving X800 OEM XT in stock on Monday tuesday. Expensive price ( 380ish ) but if you want ATI then u pay it ! Look at the overclockers forums for more. Seems theyve gotten hold of a supplier somehow. Maybe they brought them from evesham hehe !
They are probably buying em from PCW
Got mine yesterday

I don't reckon it'll be ending my bit of business at all, i've just bought 3x X800XT PE's from lowestonweb for the pant-wetting sum of £956.99 (My hand shook as I pressed the "Buy" putton, lol.), they said they had enough to fulfill my order... just. People on Ebay are ignorant as a whole, and I will use the same advert as I used to sell the last one. Also remember that even though some stores are getting them in, there will be nowhere enough cards to satisfy demand for a while yet. And when you factor in people who live internationally and can't get hold of them, you're guaranteed a sale. At the very least i'll make £150 on them, but more likely I will make £300. People will pay £400 per card no problem, and I had offers up to £450.

has anyone managed to recieve one of these X800 XTs from eBuyer yet (Sapphire brand)? they say 5 days but thats a bit false
so was wondering weather i sud cancel my order with them and go with another company like PCW, tho there XT doesnt say PE in the title so might be the standard XT

The Sapphire X800XT at PCW is a XT PE.
OoOo what to do, knowing my luck as soon as i cancel my order at eBuyer they'll come into stock
think i'll stay with eBuyer for a few more days and see what happens as various other dealers are getting there share of XTs eBuyer must be getting theres soon
some lucky person just managed to snap up a Sapphire X800 XT from eBuyer!

Shame it wasn't any good. Half Life II better not be poor as well now, or what are we going to play on our shiny new cards Noxis?
No point having these cards with nowt worth playing on them.
Are you sure about that - why would it be called a X800 XT ?
