Thanks for all the advice everyone. I do have a Frys close by in Atlanta so I may give them a call and check.
The reason I was looking at the 5870 was I only have room for one more card in my current system. I didnt want to sink another few hundred in building the base for another rig, so i figured I would just absorb the cost and throw in another card and maximize my current rig.
Power is not a concern since I will be mining from my office next week (power is included in the flat rate utilities payment).
online check says none in atlanta area, sorry
