Thanks for the feedback. I'm hearing a lot of good things from MSI and Gigabyte.

Huh?  The Asus, dude.

I've heard bad things about recent MSI 280x's: voltage locked/unknown vrm, and fans crap out in no time

Go for the Gigabyte WF3 280x. We were running 33 of them at one point, and we never had a card below 740kh/s. They are stable, cool, quiet, undervolt extremely well, and hash like mofos.

Out of your selection, it would be MSI. The Sapphire Toxic and Trixx are the better cards.

I'm using the Asus you listed and love it.  750+ kh/s with very little tweaking effort.
