About 6 weeks ago someone from tech support said they would ship an eVGA 7950 GX2 when they got one and would credit me for the nVidia card after I sent it back. I haven't heard anything since.

You're not the first one they've done this to.I've seen at least two complaints from customers who found that engineering sample CPU's had been put in their systems.Like your 7950,these are pre-sale samples,not finished consumer models,given to dealers for evaluation and are not meant for sale to the public.Either they saw a way to make a quick profit by passing off these samples as consumer models,or they are in as much trouble with their suppliers as they are with customers and can't get parts.
