Yes I was hoping to sell the whole thing as a package. A very large percentage of the foreigners here in Korea are English teachers (like me) and gamers (like me) and, like me, they don't know what the heck is going on when they first arrive, which means gaming rigs sell for a pretty high premium. Being able to see all the parts in English and have the whole thing already assembled is quite handy for most people.
I like your idea of just reselling it without the card, but the problem with that is I can't last the next 2.5 months gaming on my old Vostro 1400 laptop
So I definitely need a vid card in the interim.
I'm really not eager to drop $350 on a 5870 (prices are higher here than back home) but I am leaning that way, due in part to the fact that I'll be using it for a few months and the afore-mentioned premium on reselling computer stuff. However, my biggest fear is that in the next 2.5 months, the next gen of video cards are released and then I'm stuck with a very expensive, low-value old-generation card.
Choices, choices ><
