Well, if you want to kill two birds with one stone, go with this deal: http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?pid=8648&sid=GJ9XML5HDP208J0PVC1QBE6QKAKB291E 256-bit Sapphire Atlantis 9800Pro + Half Life 2 for $225.00. You're really only getting the card for around 170ish. :)

I'm still a loyal PlanetSide fan. Probably one of the only games out that absolutely needs a gig of RAM to run smoothly. :D

http://www.allstarshop.com/shop/product.asp?pid=8648&sid=RXSXB2H3FH3P9J63N4CX9K9160KXF0N9# $225.00 for a 256-bit 9800Pro + Half Life 2. Pretty good deal. You're really getting the card for around 175. It's the card I bought...Great price. :) The original Half Life, Counterstrike, and all...

I'll probably be getting something like this. I've always wanted to mod my HP Pavilion just for shits and giggles...This should be fun. :)

I'll be doing something similar...I currently have a HP Pavilon case which is pretty small...So I'm thinking of sticking a window on one side of it and putting two 80MM fan holes in the window which would bring cool air in. I already have a pretty big fan on the back of it that pulls air in.

My card didn't come with RAM sinks. I think I'll buy the PCI fan along with a few RAM sinks to maximize the efficiency. :)

I've been wanting to overclock my 9800Pro without buying a VGA silencer or doing anything that would involve modding my card. That's later on for me. I thought I was out of luck until I found this...

I believe the 360core is better. The 9800XTs ship on a 360 core.

The 9800Pro nearly doubles the 9600XT. Look on that Tom's Hardware link I sent you. I believe the 9600XT is on there. :)

He said he was willing to pay 268 bucks for the 256MB 9800Pro, so he might as well pay the extra 30 or so dollars and get the 6800. If he ever does decide to upgrade his processor in the future the card is more likely to be valid whenever that may be...

If you're willing to pay 268 for a 256MB version, you might as well fork out 32 bucks more so you can get the Geforce 6800: http://www.evga.com/products/moreinfo.asp?Part_Number=128-A8-N343-AX Keep in mind that this card is near bleeding edge, but it's only 30 bucks more than the 256 9800Pro...

You didn't even get a 1 year manufacturer's warranty? Wow, that blows...Most cards offer it, even online cards.

Wait, $50.00?! I want my ooooh aaaah back. :mad:
