Not exactly a deal, but I'll say it is hot, enough to cook my dinner. Those prices are ridiculous and nice to see them up on the Egg so fast, hopefully the same with happen with the 4k series.

J-Man · Jun 16, 2008, 11:48 PM

Screw NVIDIA. Those prices are ridiculously over priced.

panchoman · Jun 16, 2008, 11:54 PM

LAWL

anyway, i guess nvidia is still not using display port huh

erocker · Jun 16, 2008, 11:55 PM

What actually does use display-port?

trt740 · Jun 16, 2008, 11:55 PM

I just bought two I had the extra cash so I said Tom , thats me, TOM what the heck lets get two of them, so now off to find some modded crossfire drivers and a 2000 watt powersupply and I'm all set. I will be on my way to microcenter to pick them up in my escalade.

erocker · Jun 16, 2008, 11:57 PM

Oh hey Tom, on the way pick me up some cigars, a six pack of beer and two pounds of bullshit!

dark2099 · Jun 16, 2008, 11:57 PM

You messed up on getting that escalade. Should have gotten a Mercedes G55 AMG.

not sure for your area, but I heard your best bet would be variable rate - and supposedly you'll get the best interest after you default on your first payment, too.

Now thats what I'm talking about a man with a corrupted mind, or hardrive which ever comes first. Yes I think I will buy a Striker Exteme 790I lets spend all that college money. I'm sure my new rig will function without any trouble at all.

On your loan application, be sure to use phrases and words like: FTW!, PWNZZZ!, fanboi, benchies! etc...
