Wrong sub forum.

This needs to be under Hot Deals. As a Mod to move it for you.

Nice deals btw.

[Ruckus]

moved, FS/FT is for buying and selling not listing deals

[darkking]

My bad, fat fingers.
Thanks

Meh. Considering the 8800GTs are outperforming the GTS 640s and are now at sub-200 level, this isn't even lukewarm.

[jhartono0002]

just for heads up
These products will ship with a 90 day limited warranty. All B-Stock purchases are subject to a 30 day return policy.

those 650i ultra mobos would be great for people to create boxen for the [H]orde...they overclock very well.

I wonder if I could get more out of my 3600+ with a 590 SLI AM2 board.... only $70....

nah, that tforce 550 should be tapping all it's potential, the only limiting factor would probably be you :p

[Citizen86]

And the heat. It won't go much past 2.6Ghz without a good amount of voltage, which gets it VERY warm. Besides, my mobo starts flaking out before even 290.

[delvryboy]

Just ordered the 650i, really can't touch the price. Besides, either its going to work its entire useful life or it will be DOA.... not much of a need for a warranty outside of 90 days, unless you will have it sitting on a shelf for a few months.

Did anyone else notice this... e-GeForce 7800 GS, 256 MB DDR3,EVGA fan, AGP...$109.00???

I'm thinking that's a decent deal. (correct me if I'm wrong, 'cause I'm about to snag one!)

I guess I just sold mine (only used for a week) for $80 to a friend though. Maybe I hsould have asked more, but $80 sounded reasonable to me.

[wjogert]

If I don't need top performance? I thought a 7800GT would be about the best performance for AGP, aside from a 7950 (?) and the new HD3850???

It would certainly be an upgrade from a 6800GT OC, right??

[JCDenton]

Thinking about grabbing one of the motherboards.
-Which one to overclock a quad?
-Is there anything to be concerned about when buying a b-stock board? Are they going to come with all accessories, etc? Is there a higher chance of it being a crappy OCer because presumably, it was returned for a reason?

Yes, perhaps. B-stock or refurbished items tend to come with significantly shorter warranty. If the unit should fail, you won't be covered. However, see my next comment...

In my experience, as a consumer and as a professional electronics technician, items sold after factory refurb. tend to be more reliable. :eek:
Most items returned to the factory under warranty undergo full testing of ALL functions before release for resale. This far surpasses any testing of a new item leaving the assembly line. Most new items aren't tested at all leaving the assembly line.

While this may not apply to all manufacturers, a reputable company like EVGA with a great warranty policy and excellent customer service should have no issues with "B"-stock refurbs.
