What I hear from my uncle (who owns a cell phone store) is that you can get a brand new 8290 for like 99 bucks at Circuit. That's cheaper than they get them from Pac Bell, so they just get them there now. =) But you might be able to snag a used one for less... My sister has one, her contract is almo...

Hmm...odd, but I have a DEAD T-bird 750. Would that work? =)

Ah, you could've just bought a SBPCI64, it has a little bit of EAX and 4 speakers support...

Yeah, sounds kind of fishy, but I thought the rig would still run with one chip? And you would need a 550 that is cb0 or cc0 or something right? Or no?

Just send them a message or an e-mail and politely ask for an exchange of heatware, usually they'll give you one (some punks don't, those are the worst!!!) =)

Geez, that is pretty insane. I hate it when people just hear some rumor and PM you about getting a system for below cost. But I don't understand...do people actually make a lot of money building systems? Everytime I build one, I make like $20, which is why all my friends want me to do it, even thoug...

Great, if I can find some cheap video cards, I'll ask before I post them.

Oh, and what's "goodness of your heart" mean? Losing money, breaking even, making $5 each, making $10 each card, making $30 each, etc.?

I am still a little confused. So let's say the Radeon 2 comes out, and the price is $299 or something, $250 on pricewatch for an OEM. And I can get them for like $220 shipped and I post a thread. Is that bad, or okay, will the members be happy but mods kill me? =) I don't know, I mean, if I can offe...

I didn't think it was "all that". And I heard it's still a little pro nvidia?

Wait, so if you can get some stuff for cheap once in a while, then you can sell? I mean I am not selling Radeons to put me through college, I just thought the price I got them for was good and figured others wanted Radeons, so I posted the price for the others here. I am not really trying to complai...

bump for the VE.

Um, I am pretty sure that falls under the "buying just the pure intent to sell" category.

In Win2k, if you aren't using two separate cards, I think you can't do different refresh/resolutions.

Is this retail? Wow, not a bad price.

Heh, you want one too huh (I remember you asking for them like 3 months ago! =P) <sigh> Too bad I can't get them. BUMP for yr nexus.
