The 470 you had to jump through a lot of hoops, Bing, rebate, Entertainment Book coupon, Ebillme, etc..

I'm not looking at getting those. If the 470 was $200, then having 3-SLI for $600 would be better than running a single HD5870.
The 5870 is up to par with the 480 almost, so two 470s should outperform a single 5870.

I just got two 9600GT's to run SLI in the HTPC I am building. They each ended up being $21.22, after the two coupons I used. I had to buy $1.50 in filler items to use the $20 off of $50 coupon. They are on clearance at Staples, in-store only. Here was the price breakdown:

$48.50
-20.00
--------
$28.50
-15% ($7.28)
--------
$21.22 each

Granted I had to buy two coupons from SDer Club for $3, the 15% coupon came in my e-mail yesterday. Here's a link to the thread on the 9600GT's:

Coupons available here:

Must scan the $20 off coupon first, then the 15% as that coupon states it might be YMMV on the 15% off coupon.
At SDer Club you can buy the coupons, but they have a verifier on the site, make sure you use that before you go to the store. Also, the coupons from SDer Club should be used immediately after printing them out (within 1 day).
