8800gt $168.88

Its the Galaxy card which seems to have a mixed bag of opinions/reviews... and its only 169 after gambling on a $40 MIR but if your in the market for a 8800 I think its a pretty good price.

There could be a problem with the rebate though:

Only valid on purchases made at: • NCIX.com • Canada Computers

. I emailed them about it but haven't received a reply yet.

I have that card and I am very impressed so far. I run mine 24/7 with the core at 700, shaders at 1800 and the memory at 2000.

Never ever ever ever make a purchase based on a mail in rebate. There is a 50/50 chance you'll ever see it if you are lucky, and the odds are probably stacked against ever receiving it.

I never bother with them, my self. They are a scam more or less in my opinion.

If you read the NCIX reviews on that card, you'll see a crapload of problems with the fan sounding like a leaf blower. I think they are considering it a total write-off and trying to get rid of it, since it seems like that everyone who bought the card is RMA'ing it

That may depend on the particular one you receive or revision. In my antec P180, I cannot hear it at all over the other fans in my case.
