Yeah they were out of stock within an hour or so. On another note, I bought two r9 290 reference versions for $299 each open box. I'm hoping they didn't get abused by mining for too long. Guess I will find out when the cards and my new 1440p monitor come today lol.

Was looking at the open box also but decided not to get another one. Better hope they didn't abuse them that bad lol.

Just an update - the two r9 290's gave constant bsod's and driver crashes. I was able to return them to Newegg and used my store credit to build a system for my girlfriend. Gave her the r9 270x I had been using and bought myself an r9 280. The r9 280 is pretty terrible. It's a stable card with no bsod's, but the performance is a joke, sometimes lower than the 270x in benchmarks.
