    4x ZOTAC GTX 1080 AMP! Edition cards

    Hi guys, Up for sale are 4 brand-new-in-box, never-used 4x ZOTAC GTX 1080 AMP! Edition cards. I bought them as part of a project to upgrade my family member's computers, but ended up not using them. I figure everyone knows more or less what to expect from 1080gtx cards - what's notable about...

    Best Deal for 1920x1200 Gamers: 6850 or 6950 (flashed)?

    Hi, I've got 2 750gb Samsung Spinpoint F1 hard drives for sale. I'm looking for $75 shipped each, making them a steal at $0.10 per gig. Both are under a year old (bought new - retail), so they still have 2+ years of warranty on them. These would be perfect for a RAID 0 array, but you...
