Yeah, that "could" turn out to be the best deal this early in the game, but I know Newegg won't charge tax (never has) and almost everything I buy from them is free shipping and delievered in 2 - 3 days. I also know how good they are to work with in case the monitor is defective and needs to be exchanged. I have never dealt with PCNation before, so I'll hold out a bit longer yet since we're still in a preorder situation. But believe me, it's very tempting to just preorder now like you and Sajin did...

Right, I've heard that unofficially too accept when Tom mentioned it before it came out, and at that time the plan was to support surround at launch. I called Nvidia and they would not say anything accept that it wouldn't work, not even with tri sli. I've heard some talk about DP 1.2 not having enough bandwidth. Nvidia is taking the 5th on much of it like it's a big secret. I'm just warning people because I don't think it's going to happen soon. My tinfoil hat prediction is that it won't work until DP 1.3 shows up on cards.

Glad I decided to just say screw it and ordered another 780 Classified on Saturday to prep for this beast lol. I'm just gonna pick the monitor up whenever it hits Newegg and I'm not having to play the refresh game.

Status: Pending CC Approval. I received this e-mail at 11:36am... "Your order confirmation number is #***. Thank you for shopping with PCNation and for giving us an opportunity to earn your business! According to our records, this is the first order you placed with PCNation. Whenever we receive an order from a first time customer, we require a basic new customer verification to be completed before the order can be shipped. The basic verification assists with confirming that the actual cardholder has authorized the purchase and safeguards the transaction. Although there are several ways for PCNation to complete the required basic new customer verification, the fastest way is via a simple email communication to a corporate, commercial, government, or educational email address. If you have one of these email addresses, please reply to this email and provide the new email address. A one-time email will then be sent to validate the pending order. The corporate, commercial, government, or educati onal email address will never be used for any marketing or advertising purposes. To explore other options for completing the required basic new customer verification, please call our Customer Care line at [link=tel:800-235-4050]800-235-4050[/link] to speak to one of our friendly agents. The Customer Care line is available Monday thruThursday from 8:00am - 7:00pm CST. and on Friday from 8:00am - 5:00pm CST.

Great news! Looking forward to hearing some thoughts and opinions about your gaming experience with it. Most reviews I've seen so far that I recall have been more about the specs and features, etc...
