Important Notes; I will be water cooling ASAP cause I've got a gaming rig stuffed into a HTPC case. I'll also be picking up a second for crossfireX (or w/e they call the bridgeless thing) later on. Overclocking ability is wanted but not my primary concern, I'm more worried about solid construction and longevity.

Anyway, Asus offers a 3 year warranty, Sapphire has 2, MSI has 1, and XFX has the lifetime warranty, (but I've heard that is voided if you mod the card?) Haven't seen one from Gigabyte anywhere yet.

(Recent) experiences, rants, complaints, or praises for these companies?

I'd go Asus, I like their CU cooling, which isn't really applicable here if you are going LC, but from working with them then generally always OC well and hopefully the 290X won't be any different
