I'm sick of my gaming rig sitting in a corner. Its GeForce 6800 overheats and it has a bad HDD. It's been sitting in a corner for over a year because I can't afford a new graphics card for it, although I did manage to score a terabyte hdd about 6 months ago. I had the money set aside for it then my car broke down, $1200 in repairs. I'm bitter because I can't even play old games at decent res/quality, let alone anything new like Borderlands which everyone is fapping about. Caff suggested asking the forums, which I'm loathe to do but here goes: Anyone have a spare PCI-X graphics card they'd be willing to let go for cheap?

well I dunno I might. I have an 8800gt sitting in my room which may or not work but it is covered under a lifetime warranty and it hasn't been registered yet.

<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills
<@Negate> 12121212121212121212
<@Negate> there is a simple pattern
<+Karrde> I changed my mind.  Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD
<+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself
<+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some.

I've got a GeForce Ti4200, but it's also 8x AGP. I need a PCI-X card :/

I'm actually in the middle of rebuilding the rig into an Antec 300 case, the Sonata I was using is part of the reason I've been having overheat problems.
