NVIDIA offers GPU Keychain

Among all the core products NVIDIA has listed on its website, that include graphics cards, motherboards, software and other computer hardware with NVIDIA branding, the company seems to have come up with a good way of making use of G98 GPUs rejected by its partners: using it in memorabilia.

Geeks wanting a piece of the NVIDIA GPU can buy a clear Lucite keychain with a real G98 GPU in it, complete with all markings, and the company logo. The main body is a 1.5 inch square. The keychain carries the part code GS-NV1544, is priced at US $9.99, and is available at the NVIDIA Online Store here.

If you want to be an über-nerd, then, IMO, a 4004 or 8080 or 8086 is a bit cooler. Even cooler if you had a 6502, 6809 or Z80. But a FAILED modern GPU that's been rebranded sliced and diced. Yawn. Even a P4 would be cooler.

Actually, the coolest would be the VIA Nano. They are sort of mystical. Does it exist? Is it for real? LOL

You do realise the crappy plastic on these things will probably snap with keys on 'em.

They really need a letter option on their site just for this (or similarly small) items. There's been many items I'd like to have bought on different places, but shipping has been more than the actual item.

I wish I had old hardware to do this to, maybe I could take apart that maxtor drive, except that my dad threw it away I think (apparently it being in an anti-static bag mans it's rubbish to him.)

Nvidia!, Brilliant Idea!

Now Nvidia can get rid of therir old GPU stock without having to pay for the toxic cleanup and make money at the same time. What an evil Geneus Idea, way to go. Have the public be responsible for the trashing of old GPU's by buying your GPU keychains.
