We're retiring the old Athlon. Eight years was more than enough. We're replacing it with a Dell Studio Q8200. Great deal. Not my idea of a high end cruncher, but it's a huge improvement. It won't run 24/7 though. It's in the brat's room, and he likes the puters off when he sleeps. Still, I'm excited :)

Hi guys, I did a rebuild of our 2 shop computers, and now have some spare gpu's 1 gtx 295, one gtx 280, 3 gtx 260's, and a 9600 gtx. If anyone wants to get into the gpu computing they are pretty good first timer cards. I seen a post somewhere in here about this topic, but could not find it sorry guys. If anyone wants a good used gpu make me a offer, as they are just sitting on the shelf now. Thanks Phil

You call that "some"?? :P

*pats 275 gtx, gets burned*

No real point in my making an offer on the least of those cards as its still probly worth at least thrice as much as my older boxes, heh!

Thanks for the offer though.

Minus off the 280 off the list, my son's friend wants it, has no money but we cut a deal for 35 hours of yardwork around my place. I love that kind of stuff.
