These 480s are tempting beasts but their damn power requirements (PSU + electricity bill) was what made me go with 2x 460.
Still, great find man.

If I didn't just buy 2x 480's I would've bought these... If I see anymore deals like this should I post them?

By all means, my friend. One can never have enough GPU/CPU power under the hood

BTW, I read on the forums that overclocked cards are not the best option for Octane - because Octane uses the card to the max, and that could present stability / overheating problems during long periods of rendering.
I don't know much about this technicalities, just something to note. Maybe someone with an (heavily) OC-ed card could report on his experiences.

You could always under clock them if they've been OC'ed. Can't beat that price though. Would be nice to have in my cubix box.

I guess cheap is a relative term...
Look at the seller!

Well that sucks 
When I had looked at his feedback initially everything looked fine. I bought both of my GTX 480's on ebay, no issues; hopefully he'll make good on his sale. Hope it didn't impact anyone on this forum.
