Well ... FECK!!!!! .. i caved in .. I have a lan to go to this weekend and needed a good video card to go with .. i was gunna get the HIS R9600XT Turbo .. thats more than i wanted to spend in the first place, i need it shipped tomorrow morning if it has any hope of getting to me before the lan, so i huried home and called the dealer ( in another state) tried my ass off to get the card here by the weekend, they tell me its impossible, i'm like SHIT, called the 2nd best dealer i know (further away) tried to get the same card (cost 10 bux more) thety dont have it in stock, just sold out he says, then i quickly look on the page for something just as good and i find the POWERCOLOR 9600XT BRAVO 128mb for $310 .. this is like shit loads more than i was hoping to pay, but i paniced! i had 20 minutes to buy a video card, so far i have found that it performs on par with normal 9600XT's .. so yeah .. i bought a bravo piece of shit, oh and also because the dealer is so far away express delivery is gunna cost me an extra 15bux .. so in total i am paying $325 for something i could get for alot cheaper .. so yeah .. i'm angry .. i think i'll go experiment with my tounge and a power outlet.
I've blown half of my money that i was saving for schoolies week!! (spring break style thing) :sad:
