yea really. I wonder if I'll even have time to enjoy it before winter break.

It is still going to be painful to drop another 200 bucks after building a computer, even though I included that in my budget. Then Windows 7 comes out and I have to buy that too

Head-fi really is living up to its reputation. It's not that this audio stuff is insanely expensive, its that I still spend a lot on computers and such too...

I can't wait

Well if you can't get enough cash between the ATI cards and the ASUS card, then you could go with an ATI 4770. Later on when you get more cash just get another and crossfire the two of them, beats a single 4890 in crossfire.

But a 4890x2 might be coming out, currently theres a 4870x2... Just whatever fits your budgets and needs. You could always wait til ATI gets to the 5k series which is better made for Win 7's DX11 (And vista should be getting it eventually via an update).

*sigh* Yea, so many good things coming out that are way above our income

I guess I'd be fine getting you to ship one to me in Aus, providing it's through paypal and we set things up smoothly.

I dunno.. >.<

Thanks for the offer,

I've just been told by one of the main Asus rep. in Australia that the ST is about to be shipped & that the shipping will take 4wks.
So it should be in most retail outlets at the beginning of November. I'm still trying to get a response on the expansion card...

That would make sense considering the date for the US release.
Glad you got the info you were after.
