Clearly you never played enough Elite or Freelancer :p. Don't get me wrong, I think people buying up a whole bunch of cards to sell for a profit on eBay are a bit annoying, but if someone is putting up a week old 680 here for $550 (to cover the taxes/shipping/etc.) then nothing wrong with that...

I don't see a need for a 5 year warranty on a video card. I just upgraded to a 680 after using my last card for 16 months and the card I had before that was just over 2 years old before I upgraded, so 3 years should be plenty of warranty time. It might be worthwhile for the step-up, but I've...

Just installed my new Corsair PSU. It's great! (It is a lot quieter than my old one.)

So I just found a Model M (dated 18MAY93) at work today: This is great since I've been using a Steelseries 6Gv2 for a little over a month now at home, and I was getting annoyed at having to use a crappy membrane keyboard at work (where I do a lot more typing). So far I'm enjoying the buckling...
