Id like to know if you've had many back, as quite a few are borked or borking, randomly doing a black screen on post with fan 100%, and sometimes when doing that, may finally boot after about 20 attempts, quite a few 5870's doing it as well.

Haha, I'm in the same boat, waiting for a Saphhire 5850 and a Western Digital black so I can begin assembling the beast. It's only been a day for me though :p
 
Sorry guys for lack of updates. Sapphire is due on Monday we will have plenty of 5850 and 5870. Really battling to get allocation.
 
I've been waiting for ASUS 5850 since Sunday but I ended up swaping for Sapphire recently. And still waiting for it though :(

Fatboy, any updates about ASUS cards?

I feel like a 10 year old at christmas right now, checking the RMSD tracking site constantly for my finance paper work to be delivered to V12 :D can't wait to get mine and the rest of the delivery
 
Got called in to work this morning and missed my delivery by 15 mins! Will have to go and pick it up tomorrow morning now. Mrs will now see what I've bought - Bugger!
 
Hmmmm. Need to build those new rigs into an old case!!!!

Got my XFX 5850s and a pair of XFX 5870 - Wow.
