    lol I just realized it when I suggested it to someone, went to customize it to double check price and I was like huh... since that 9200 really does not even compare to the the 9600 and yes, it was a huge selling point

    You can still select the 9600 card if you choose the bronze case rather than onyx. They changed the pricing though.

    They changed their pricing, but only by a very small amount. They raised the base model price by $20, but include teh 9200 card in it now, which means that is $5 less than it was before. Alternatively, you can upgrade to the 9600 card for $40. Before it was $50 more than the $579.99 price. So in essence, the base is now $599.99 and you can pay an extra $40 to get the 9600 card, meaning it costs $60 instead of $50. Only $10 more expensive. The 9200 is $5 cheaper than it was yesterday.
