MicroCenter is better than NewEgg - and i have one just down the road...

Newegg and Tiger Direct have the Saphire 5850 for 139 free shipping. Newegg w/o rebate Tiger Direct With.

So with tax, the card is around 220, Newegg has no tax so just 140. Nearly twice the cost, or at least 80% more for a 15% performance bump.

I love MicroCenter too though, used to live not too far from the one in the Minneapple.
