Well, that's probably because they stopped making the 7xxx series awhile back. They RMA back a card around it's price value, no? Not by performance value...or that's what I think anyways /shrug.

And yeah, it fits quite nicely in my cosmos. The inside is actually bigger then it looks I'll post up a pic once I get home.

Sorry but i _seriously_ can't see a point for gfx cards faster than 8800 GTS which I'm using atm.I can already run anything with all settings maxed at a decent resolution (my lcd can't do much more either).
I just think that's overkill,while getting a bloody fast cpu (or overclocking one alot) is always worth it since you do see a difference (at worse in loading times / wait times in all progs/games)

Yeah, I'm waiting for more HD compliant monitors to hit the shelves. It would be a shame to not use that HDMI port on the back

If you want to be hard-core, buy some 19" LCD panels that can display 1920 x 1200, then put four of them together to form a single 38" LCD panel that can do 3840 x 2400...

There is already a single lcd that displays 3840 x 2400.

Don't worry though, its good for gaming. It'll do 1920 x1200 perfectly as 1 pixel instead becomes 2x2 pixels.
