one down, one to go

Bumparoo

used but good working 3DS system. The black one is in excellent shape, top looks nearly perfect, some scratches on the bottom and very light scratches on touchscreen like the other. $145 shipped Comes with generic power adapter and earbuds. I also have 4 DS games, will...

YHPM on the 3D

Why does everyone think that these chips don't overclock? Not sure about this model in particular but I was pleasantly surprised that my cheap non-k system pull i7-2600 bought off ebay had a selectable multi up to 42 and then you can tweak the FSB to get pretty close to the 5Ghz or so of the K...

Darn you Fooshnik. Looks like I may be crossfiring 2 of these. ;) So much for my plans of going with nVidia this time around, just nothing close to the performance in this price range.

You can add a 1 year protection plan for $5 once it's in your cart. Prob a good idea on this deal. Actually at $50 shipped with a 1 year warranty, that's not too shabby. Maybe I'll go fishin' again. :)

Yea, just keep cycling through and there are some with remotes and nunchucks. I've got one with a stand and some other stuff in my cart but still wary of the deal. You can usually find them at pawn shops for $50 or so and can make sure they work before taking home. Price really fell out of...

The TUL Corporation which includes PowerColor, VTX3D, and Club3D seem to be the primary manufacturer of these cards. Their 3 cards are identical with just slight cosmetic differences but I think PowerColor is the sole US channel...

In stock at superbiiz, $236 plus $9 shipping minus $15 using coupon code HARBOWL Brings it down to $230 shipped, no rebates. Also these 7870 LE's are starting to show up at other vendors in the $240 price range. Looks like the current best buy in price/performance...

Same deal with better cooler, slightly higher clock and CPU mag. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127704&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_sp=&AID=10440897&PID=3332167&SID=u00000687

But it IS annoying when you just want to check quickly if any new hot deal popped up and then have to deal with a redirect, I don't think anyone will deny that. Especially when the redirect has NEVER ONCE been to an equivalent deal, they're not really increasing any sales just counting hits and...

Yea, didn't really mean too old, just too far behind the tech curve to consider for a new card purchase, especially with the 650 ti's & 7850's dipping into the same price range. I'd be all over a used one (regular 650) for $50-60.

Edit - Not hot now at $120 AR no game. Would have jumped on this a couple weeks ago but now I'm thinking I want something with a little more horsepower. Still seems to be a pretty good deal. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127710

I was wrong, 650ti is exactly double a 650 (768 vs 384 cores), it is a 660 just retarded a bit. If all you look at is peak FPS then yea the benchmarks only show it about halfway between a 650 and 660. Gameplay smoothness will be a vastly different experience tho. Still a 650ti is the minimum...
