About the Creative Labs PCI Banshee ..

www.hardwarestreet.com just got them in! Get this - after filling all of their pending orders, they currently have -9- left in stock. I don't know how many they originally ordered (maybe 10 :)) but I can tell you they stocked the other banshee cards in the hundreds before they sold out.

Anyway, I should be receiving mine monday or tuesday so I'll be sure to give everyone full details on the installation. To date nobody here has posted about the merits of the CL version ..

Also note that this just about the cheapest you can get - CL has a $30 rebate and it sells for $105 at hardwarestreet, so you're effectively getting a banshee for $75 - that beats Guillemot's $85. I think the price is lower because CL doesn't offer games in the s/w bundle. But they only have 9 in stock, so go get one now!
