So which one is the best? I'm leaning towards the PowerColor. Only because
they have a model with a larger cooler available and they sound like they
know what they are doing, but I haven't got a clue which one would be
better. Anyone have any ideas and why? Support? Accessories?

They all sell for the same price on Newegg -- $219.00. From what I can
tell, they all have the same accessories included with them, and they all
get their updates from the same source. The only difference I can see are a
few stickers.
So maybe I should wait for ATI to come out with their own one? Probably
would cost $40 more. They usually do. I purchased my x1950 pro from
Sapphire and was not happy with the support they offered, but the board was
OK. Anybody have an idea on these distributors?
Should I jump on the one that is available first, or should I hold out for a
particular brand?
