Video Card Upgrade

#1 Post by Guest » Sun Jul 24, 2005 1:28 pm

Budget - $400 (before taxes/shipping) - Canadian
Motherboard - ASUS P4P800 DELUXE

Has to be from a Canadian website or atleast one that ships to Canada lol. ATM, I've got my eye on this, but it is more then my budget:

The BID price is extremely cheap, especially for the l337ness of the card (it being the best AGP ATi video card out right now). Here's the same card, but a different seller, and alot cheaper price, and MUCH more in stock:

What do you guys think? The second link actually gives a pic of the card, and it's the exact same as the one on the ATi website for $750 CAD. o_o I'm so tempted to buy.

It should be the same as the pic of the card in his thing, with some sort of packaging. I dont give a shit what he uses as long as it does not get damaged. If it even has as much as a scratch on it, imma contact every authority I can to make sure someone dies. The people who delivered it/the seller/the people who made the thing that it was delivered in/the people who made the packaging/the people who made the people who made the packaging/etc

Ok, I asked if it came with the cable and he said it comes with everything necessary to hook it up. Now I just asked him the warranty length :)

Also, I noticed that the Quantity was changed from 50 to 49 meaning someone bought it, I'm trying to get in touch with the guy who bought it ATM and I'm gonna ask him how it goes lol

Got a VERY quick response, 3 years warranty length. I am extremely happy ATM, and it appears he has sold another one. 48 left.
