I hate X800GTO's so much....

In case you're wondering Paul, I'm building a second Asrock system for my fiance', that will be on a gaming network with my own system.....hence this out-of-the-blue purchase

Check after Rebate!

You have a fiance that plays video games!?!?!?

I have my own computer room, with it's own AC unit, and a mini fridge/freezer, and If all goes well, I can hold out for days and do nothing but play video games

I'm reading them

Thank you for taking the time to post them 8)

It's not a problem; it's not like I write the cartoons . There's a whole archive dating back to 2002; it's a very good way to kill a couple hours.

Bitch to newegg, and try to get another 7800GS :-). BTW, what are the specs of that rig that you're building?

Its probably that radeonninjaxt fag. He really needed a bullet.

Ok, definetly need THAT post deleted....god damn i'm gonna have nightmares for quite some time.

And your ass needs to get out of here too....

O yeah...you too of course

I just hit the first 'reply' button...I'm still in a state of deep disgust right now.
I'm going to grab a bottle of tums, then wash it down with some Nightquil and gin...hopefully this will all be a blurred memory.........really blurred.

Dear god man, only you could be that critical

And...here goes the gin

Genetic what part of OKC do you live in?

I live on 42nd st, near May and Best Buy, PCClub, CompUSA, etc.

That's a scary thought. If I were GW, I'd move away quickly.

Do you just pee out the window and hold tight on the solids?

That's a scary thought. If I were GW, I'd move away quickly. Oh no then i would follow em.

Be careful what you wish for. Three of them nearby closed unexpectedly and the dude closing them up claimed the closings were due to employee theft. Seemed odd that all three of them had employee theft problems. A little later, I was on business in Lynnwood, WA and noticed that their PC Club store had closed. I asked at the nearby CompUSA if they knew what was up with that and guess what? I was told that they had employee theft problems. I'm still waiting on three PC Club MIRs and they are unresponsive. The bummer is that the PC Club store a mile from my house had a crew of really excellent employees. They openly shared info even when they knew you weren't there to buy anything. They were passionate about computers and stuff like music, digital audio and video - stuff that we use computers with. I don't believe they were thieves.

Me too - mid to upper management as opposed to local. I used to do security for a mall department store so I know that employee theft is a big problem. But to close four stores? Who knows, maybe more were closed that I didn't hear about. Regardless, if an employee is stealing, you choose between prosecution, termination and education. And you deal with the employees doing the theft. It's really not so hard to catch people with today's surveilance cameras, etc. Want to bait a computer store thief? Not too hard to do.

why dont you just go pci-express and buy a x850 xt? it would be like what 30 bucks more after you find a cheaper mobo.

the x850 xt beats the 7600gt in almost all tests and i dont think you can oc the 7600gt insanley(what 650/1200?) plus 7600gt is 185 w/o rebate(cheapest) and 165(with rebate) if you want to wait a couple of monthes. and thats what ive been looking for(a cheap pci board) cheapest board non-refurb is 49.99 lol but i know he already has the mobo so it dosent matter. have fun, i cant wait for my x850 card 8)

The cheapest 7600GT is $150; look here.
