A used video card with two GPUs for US$227.

Why? becsue it was the best deal I've seen all year for a computer part. Let's hope it works when I get it.

A quickfire wireless router as mine died. RIP wireless router. And a new shoe for work, but that's neither here nor there.

I assure you ze full name shall be revealed by the start of next month, but assuming best case scenario, Wyatt, your benchmark's downfall has entered its first stage...

Got a LG 42" LCD
and a AMD Athlon X2 250 AM3 CPU

Now have all the parts to build a HTPC, should be a project for today or Wednesday methinks

Skepsis · « **Reply #751 on:** May 27, 2012, 09:03:58 AM »

I picked up an amd e350 mobo/CPU, it's a mini itx that has very little power draw and is real cheap

got some interesting plans for this one

Saxito Pau · « **Reply #752 on:** May 30, 2012, 01:10:27 PM »

For Wyatt and Skepsis, said card I bought is this:

EVGA GeForce GTX 460 2Win

Should perform on par with a GTX 580

Please tell me you got an INSANELY good deal on that, like $1500tt or less. Otherwise, bad, bad choice. A gtx 670 is MUCH better.

Saxito Pau · « **Reply #754 on:** May 30, 2012, 02:43:01 PM »

^^ scroll up page and see how much I paid

TriniXaeno · « **Reply #755 on:** May 31, 2012, 12:21:39 AM »

hmm, interesting, very interesting

looking forward to seeing the numbers that thing can push.

Not feeling threatened just yet

Do elaborate, sir, as I cannot fathom why one would be against getting almost HD 7950/GTX 580 performance from an older card at US$227 given the 'today' cards at that performance level cost upwards of US$400!!

captainchris · « **Reply #759 on:** May 31, 2012, 09:23:13 AM »

ok well i clearly didnt see the price so i must apologise immensely for the assumption.
