Find a 9800 non-pro - borrow the rest if necessary.

$250 at newegg - I don't know where else to look as I'm English - US
suppliers is not my concern :-P

Sapphire 9800 OEM (nonpro). Overclock to pro speed when you get it.

I bought a Sapphire non pro and overclocked it to pro speeds for about a
week with absolutely no problems. So I flashed the bios and made it a pro.
Runs like a charm with no extra cooling or anything. I think I could still
overclock it more, but frankly I'm quite happy with the speed I have and the
price I paid.
