Fair enough but there are better card for less money available.
There are.
But if you need another GTX 480 for SLI you don't have any choice unless you buy second hand.

i want another SE not SOC or Vanilla and i have never seen one on there yet (simply becuase i think they where the best 480 ever done) way more stable than the SOC's even at speeds beyond the SOC
Soldato
I think gibbo should put the price down for a few hours or something.
Two SE's wouldn't be great as they both put heat into the case.

heat is really not a problem running 4X 120mm and 1X 140mm case fans and its all cool at the moment. sure it will get warmer but got loads of airflow and a H50 on the cpu taking air externally from the case 
Yea if they where @ £199 or below i would buy one but im not paying over the odds for one.
+ i have not found my 480 to be as hot as some ATI fans have exaggerated

Lots of fans!
My 480 was faster cooler and quieter than my 6970
