Hey - i'm talking to a guy about buying a 9800GX2 - but i'm having some second thoughts. Here's the situation...
Price = $100 - Great price
Problems: No box / accessories, he claims he's getting rid of it because of the power requirements (but how could he have run it previously?), there's a small crack on the PCB that he says does not affect usage
I told him i'd buy it if i could bring my computer with me and install it and make sure it worked well through 3dMark06 and perhaps a few minutes of a game to make sure there aren't any artifacts. I haven't heard back from him since (granted, he might have got tired of my incessant questions and decided to move on to someone else). But is there anything else i should be concerned with, or anything else i should test before handing over the money? Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks!
Chris
