Go for the 290 because of performance vs price. The 290x is much more expensive.

Thinking about getting an r290 to mess around with but will probably wait for non-reference cooling. I had a few powercolor single fan 7950 and those things ran stupid hot when not undervolted/clocked.

give us link!
or didnt happen.

I'd go for the 290 non x...maybe wait a bit more but it's amazingly cheap for what it is, and a few guys managed to unlock shaders flashing the 290x bios. (so far only one xfx, one msi and two powercolor oc cards)
Don't you guys think there will be price cuts soon?
Should you get a 7950 now or wait for price cuts? What's the best strategy profit-wise?

Sold my 2 290x cards, just didn't have time to mess with them right now trying to find better settings. I was expecting someone to have found settings for 1+MH/s when I got back to check the thread, thankfully my 920/1500 is still the best. 
The 290x is not going to be a good card for mining. At least at these prices.
I put a Kill-a-watt on my rig today. I'm running one 290x and one normal 290. Together there running around 650 watts.
what are your hash rates at that power draw?
1680Kh
They run really hot as well, doubt they would be stable at room temp even with good fans.

Nice, did you undervolt and overclock?
I didn't change the voltage. 920/1500 on the 290x, 947/1250 on the 290.

Is anyone getting above 880/Kh with the 290x. Mine seems to go slower if I try to increase above 920/1500.
Watching this card is a waste of time unless someone can show it beats an ATI 7950: 160€, 700 Kh/s, 150W
If you think a 7950 only draws 150w while running 700kh/s you're sorely mistaken.
any new results on the 290x ?
Nah, still waiting for the new chip everyone is talking about..
Probably some language barrier...there are two new chips, full fledged Hawaii (290X) and Hawaii Pro (cutdown one, 290 non x)

any new resluts on the 290x ?
I don't think I'm ready to sell my body for one.
