Bump for an epic thread. Was reading thru trying to find a source of the Fresnel lenses, but didn't find one. Anyone have more information on where Vega got them from?

780i's aren't terrible boards - they do take a lot more time to overclock versus a X38/P45 chipset. Keep your memory settings at default and lets focus on the FSB for your chip for now. With decent air cooling, we should be able to get you stable at 3.2 Ghz.

Still going strong with my HP P1230's...had to retire one of them recently because everything was red (or was it green). For the OP, what model monitor do you have? I feel like a majority of the larger monitors could run at a higher refresh for that resolution (note the ones I have can do 85hz...

Anyone ever use the 3D Blaster from Creative Labs? II have fond memories of that 3D card, using the VLB. There were some cools game on it too that I've never seen since, and I can't remember the name of them at all either!

Inflated prices happens quite often...look at what Netflix [NFLX] stock used to be (before the price increase) or take a look at Pricelines stock [PCLN].

I'd take a look at that 4650 if you are looking for a card - interesting that it supports directx 10.1 - you could probably get some points on hwbot trying to run 3dmark vantage with that platform.

Never crazy OC's on the q6600 since I'm running on a 780i chipset and that board can be pretty frustrating to OC. On stock volts you can get 3.1/3.2 pretty easy. Never above 3.6 on the chip (under phase change or chilled water) BTW - have a stock intel cooler I could include with the chip...

Have a Q6600 G0 for sale. $75 shipped, assuming your are in the 48 states.

Have an Abit IN9-32x max for sale if that works for you. 680i chipset. Includes a PCIe 1x wifi card too.

Have an Abit IN9-32x max with the wifi card, io plate, etc if you are interested.

Have a DFI-NF4 and an Operton 165 if you are interested.

Creative Labs did this with the 3DO. Too bad that never really took off.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153106 $104.99 - 10% off (PSU11MAR) - $25 mail-in rebate = $69.49 with free shipping. 850 watts, single 12v channel. I just picked up one at the end of February for $87 with shipping. Bronze certified.

Hopefully my panaflo's will come thru - some sweet deals on insanely loud delta 120x38's too. 252cfm here I come.

Back up and running - picked up a few fans at a great price when the 50% discount is included.

Newegg has a good deal on a 24" HP 2405 model for $199 shipped.

Agree on the thermaltake. I'm running a modified coolit freezone elite and a GTX 480 off my thermaltake with no problems.

In for 3 - great deal when a similar product from Home Depot costs $105 in my area.

Great price on a 295. Bump

Bump - I have a 165 and a 144 I need to list at some point. Really a great setup with an NF4 board and the opty 165 (I had it running on water just over 3ghz.)

Two cards will let me run to Nfinity and beyond!

I visit everyday to the forums - hoping to find a deal on an e-reader for a Christmas gift.

Tom Clancy's Rainbow 6 and Half-life.

Would love to see increased support for application acceleration, and not just gaming performance/visual improvement.

Have an Abit IN9-32x 680i chipset board - PM if interested. I'm located in Pittsburgh, PA so the board would arrive pretty quick (I imagine)

geeks.com has some 750i and 780i boards if you want to stay with SLI. The EVGA 790i with DDR3 would probably be the quickest platform for SLI. You should be able to get more out of that chip though on your 680i. I have a Q6600 and can run stable 3.6 and am workign to get over 4ghz right...

I've wondered that as well. I just bought a refurbished XFX 780i motherboard, and square trade offered a 3 year warranty to me for $9. Ended up buying it, but I have no idea what they'll do if the product fails later down the road. I think the standard policy would be, if the product can't...

Refurbished BFG GTX 260 core 216 (55nm) http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=BFGSGTX260MC896OCDE-R&cat=VCD

Prices should start coming down on alot of the BFG products as places try and clear them out. Right now you can get the following (all from respectable online stores): GTX 260 for $109 GTX 275 for $140

I remember starting out with some major WC and TEC cooling on my Abit BP6. Moved on to the kt7a and then the nf7s which I stayed with for a few years. Wish they were still around too...

I just had the sasme problem - my Evga 780i ftw kicked the bucket. I debated on upgrading/changing platforms and also looked at the evga b-stock. I ended up getting a XFX board from www.geeks.com (has the same 90-day warranty evga offered). They have: a 750i refurbished for for $47.99 a...

Bump - just ordered a replacement 775 board or I'd be all over the p5q. Best of luck.

Tri-monitoring or high resolutions will share the 1GB on the 460's. Depending on what res. you are running, the GTX 480 may better serve you. If you are programming CUDA apps, the GTX 480 be my recommendation. 1920x1200 and the 460's in sli should run just fine for you.

Logged into Ebay this morning and saw they have a 2% cashback program of their own. Not as nice as 8% (or the 30% last year) but better than nothing.

Is this still on? I don't see Dell even listed in the Bing Shopping stores anymore. Wonder if there will be some sort of last-minute fire sale on BCB

Refurb's are OOS now too.

Refurbished models of the same product are available at geeks for $99.99. Same 90-day warranty as well. 22 currently available at http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=BFGSGTX260MC896OCDE-R&cat=VCD

Tempting. Still considering a GTX 470 or this for Tri-sli...

Wish it was in stock :(
