I bought the GTS by accident, I wanted a GT but I was fine with it.

Though now I can trade it in a pay the difference, which I am certainly going to do.  I want Crysis on MAX!!!

woot I sent in my Step Up request!  I can't wait.

Apparently my motherboard is lost somewhere.  Damn.  Oh well, I've waited more than a month already, I can wait more.

This is THE best motherboard for single card solutions. It is also THE best at overclocking! :D

Concerto No.20 in D minor

I love the color of that board, but its cooling system isn't as cool looking as others.

I have $50 coming in the mail (mail in rebate), and my brothers owe me $65. I currently have $60...so that's...$175 total. I's $10 short for my processor...dang it...

They've shipped my GX2.

Wow, mine is already obsolete.  They just released 3 more versions of the GX2 for like the same price.  Or are they just overclocked editions?

Most Likely, I wouldn't buy the over clocked editions, I would just do it myself. Are you running vista, or xp?

Harvest

I'm going to be running XP?

Also, I don't have an XP disc, would you trust a torrent version of XP?

Same here. I had built my own PC back in 2004 because I was in an apartment on my own to finish my last year of High School. It cost me 3000$ and out of the computers I got, it was the ones with the most problems. I kept having driver problems for my video card causing blue screens of death, my motherboard fried a week after I got it, after copying or downloading something, if the file size was large (over 300megs) it would take forever for it to copy and if its downloading it would freeze at 99% for like 15 minutes. Later I got a laptop and gave that computer to my parents to put in the family room. A few months ago it died because the motherboard fried and they don't make that model anymore or any motherboards that support what I had, making that computer the computer with the less life we've ever had.
