Popular memory manufacturer Mushkin, which is also known for power supply units and until last year, for video cards, plans to resume being a video card manufacturer, and an add-in card partner for NVIDIA. The company just announced plans on an entire lineup of products based on the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 200 series, called Mushkin UltimateFX. It includes products starting from the GeForce GTX 260 896 MB base model, going all the way up to GeForce GTX 285 2048 MB, with models carved out based on clock speeds and memory sizes.
For the most part, it looks like Mushkin will use non-reference designs which we may be familiar with. One of their products resembles a similar design by Sparkle, while another bears resemblance with the reference NVIDIA design, albeit a green PCB (something PNY has opted for). The cards will be shipped in an a classic wooden jewel case, similar to to the "WoodBox" it shipped with its older products. Here's what the lineup looks like:
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX260
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX260 (1792MB)
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX260 OC
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX260 OC2
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX275
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX275 OC
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX275 OC2
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX285
mushkin ultimateFX GeForce GTX285 (2048MB)
Mushkin also made it clear that it intends to sell video cards based on the ATI Radeon series, with products in the works. |

You're welcome! 
I've been a Mushkin fan for years! I had different models of their RAM for years, with some of them shipped in a wooden box. Recently, I moved to OCZ RAM, only because it is quite hard to get their RAM in Israel. 
I still own a Mushkin 650W PSU though, their XP-650 model and I'm VERY satisifed with it. 
I'm very happy to know they're re-entering the Video Cards market competition and I'll definitely take into consideration their Video Cards on my next Video Card upgrade (even though it might take some time...with my currently owned GTX275 ), mainly for their GREAT warranty, Customer Service and Support!
WAY TO GO Mushkin!!!

Yeah, I absolutely agree.
Did I say already that I like the look of these wooden boxes? 
I personally think they add A LOT to the look and the product looks much more appealing.
