I don't know who is doing the marketing for these guys with 500 dollar cards! Even if I really really really wanted one I would have to strugle to afford it (not eat for a month). These current card prices are rediculus. If anyone is looking for a card deal check neweggs refurb stuff i got a radeon 9700 pro for $200. It took a while to find it but it did eventually show up.

As for [H] I think most of their users just take everything they say as gospel because they have so many users. When I worked with Falcon Northwest every other customer would call saying I saw this at H or I saw this at Toms. We would have to teach them that what they saw wasn't true and our tests show that this configuration is faster etc... People believe these places are reputable because they are so popular, I don't think there is much more to it.
