Im a sucker for "sale" stuff. Even though they are open box at Newegg Ive had really good luck with them.

I noticed some of the 5770s were $189 + shipping (thats nutts) and I saw a 5830 that was $270(even worse, should be $199)

I really wanted the 5850s but to be honest that is SERIOUS overkill for me...

someone needs to buy my 4870's for $150 au each

 

[(FIH) The Don]

yeah me too, already bought too much this month, and were only at 4.

haha that would be VERY cheap in denmark.

the 5830s is near 400$ here, and the 5850s is like 430 $

a 5870 is 500+$

LOL, but ur in Denmark I would rather pay more for hardware and live there....


Here is a plan, lets switch lives.. Il move there and pay $$$ for hardware and you can move here and get good deals..

I sold my Vapor X 4870 to Paulig and after I did the prices on all the other cards raised... Keep the 4870s(just make sure to vent the room to remove the extra heat during summer)

 

[Chicken Patty]

what case was it? looks like it has some nice wm possibilities
and LOTS of room

MK, that is gonna be kickass, but you already know that since you had it before

This one. wish I had the bit of WM experience i have now back then

Yeah you know what to do with your I7 bro lol!

Pull your 965 out clock it and your gpu's and lets play lol

http://img.techpowerup.org/100304/letssee.jpg

lets's see how this works teeheehee

You got 5970, I got i7. What's the big deal

LOL, im so retarded... I had perfectly good 5770s (a bit noisy but good) and I sold them to wait for 5830s but they turned out to be not such a good deal, than I waited for an openbox 5880 but I am just too dam slow...

Today I found a pair of the New Asus cards for $124ea, so screw the waiting I got them. I like how they have the long exhaust slot (instead of the small one the rest of the cards have)

Im probably gonna make a custom cooler that attaches a fan to the power connection end and blows along the cards and out the back of the case. It wqs either gonna be the Asus cards or the MSI Hawks but I figured if i was gonna make my own cooler why spend the extra $100..

And CP thats a very clean looking loop you had there...

meh, stuff happens Mark. Hopefully you can come up with the cooler design idea and it all works out for you. hardware is meant to come and go bro, no worries

The loop was very nice, I loved it, but needed money and got rid of it

 

[Mussels]

LOL, I sold my 4870 to Paulieg.. after I did the cost of the cards all raised and I was so pissed.
(keep the 4870s)

we just had a price drop here on the ATI cards, i can get a 5850 for $400 au - if i sell the other two for ~$300, i'm set

I always partner two of the same exact make and model card, no mix-matching for this purist.

Now that I think about it "Shrimp on the Barbie" Il switch lives with you too if you want to come here for cheap hardware...

 

[imperialreign]

BTW, forgot to mention . . . I am planning yet another upgrade within the next couple of months . . . 2 HD5970s . . . as soon as I can find a retailer with enough stock, that's willing to sell more than one unit per individual at a time. Funds are not a problem, I could've snagged two at time of release . . . but, we all know how that hardware release went down

 

[fullinfusion]

remember our prices include tax - convering the dollars over that would be about $350, and then you guys have your various tax on top.

I hear ya but all I know is when Im in AU and hit the ATM and pull a grand out Im only pulling out 8 and change outta my Canadian acct... the dollar is at what now compared to the USD? 75c's if that? That explain the difference

plus the tax isn't that high here or in the states

true, but the difference being $30 or so after all that is acceptable. video cards always cost more here, while hard drives and ram tend to be fairly similar (excepting DDR3, thats been slow to get cheaper - starting to level out now)

Think of it as a case mid-height divider . . .

 

[MKmods]

it would stick out the side of my SFF case about 3", lol

 

[(FIH) The Don]

[(FIH) The Don]

thx man, think i'm gonna extend the cable on the cathode on the mobo tray, wanna get it in the top of the case instead, the cable just isnt long enough

Same thing happened to me when I had the TT Armour case so I never extended it to get the cathode to where I wanted it
