Neither will I. Ever since I made my first purchase from NewEgg, I've used FedEx for everything. They're fast, reliable, and I don't know about the delivery guys you all have, but the ones around here are a lot more considerate. They don't just drop the package off in front of the garage like their competitor does. They actually knock before just setting it in the bushes or something. :-)

I'm thinking of changing my PSU myself. (SP-II 500W) because of the amount of amps my X1900XT takes.
30, or that's what ATITool says. It also makes this high pitched noise when I play a game LOL

ATI Tool amp thingy is wayy wrong. A very heavily OCed X1900XTX MAY draw 15A.

Edit: ATI tool is still one of the best utilities for OCing.

And even that would be high. So yeah, there's no way it's pulling in 30 amps.

Yeah that's what I thought, since there's like 15amps getting out of my wall it's somewhat crazy to think a video card could take 30A. :P
I tested my XT a bit, i'm still learning it and since i'm at work I don't have much time but I was able to squeeze a 12k on 3DMark05.

That said it's true my PSU makes some weird noise, but it's not the only one. Just about every PSU is making this noise when fully loaded, I think some people simply can't hear it maybe.

Edit: I just checked my ORB, it was a small OC, 680 core and 792mem. "Barely" over XTX speeds. Cat 6.6 though.
Edit 2: Oh another thing, is it normal it's being recognized as ATI RADEON X1900 XTX in my ORB project details?

Sent the thing in via FedEx ground... I had to buy a box and tape there. Anyone know where I could buy a box so I don't have to spend $5 on one next time?
