Yes, its from Dell and will take a week or 2 to ship, but for $200 how the hell can you argue with that? (http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/products/games/productdetail.aspx?c=us&l=en&s=dhs&cs=29&sku=a1348853&dgc=CJ&cid=24471&lid=566643)

does it catch fire suddenly or explode or in any other way possibly damage my nice computer?

Well there is the troubling concept that is is from Dell after all.

Something smells fishy.It could just be the fact that they are not price gouging like everyone else. :p

Dell is a corporation though. If 8800GTs are selling like hotcakes at $300, why under-price them?

Doubtful. People are already dual-ordering the 8800GT at $300, and if it's selling like hotcakes at $300, why would they drop it $100? That would mean they're losing money, unless they have some sort of deal with nVidia where they're buying them cheaper in bulk.

Afaik Dell is the only place you can even buy them from right now since the god damn things aren't in stock anywhere else. Also the new new 8800 GTS (http://www.techpowerup.com/archive.php?44657) is coming out soon, so they may be trying to get rid of existing stock. They might also just be doing a black friday-esque sale on it but over the weekend or something.

*Edit* Nevermind, out of stock.

You're probably right about getting them out of stock, seeing as they did sell like hot cakes.
