Seeing as tho Vis Locked his other thread, I'm assuming by accident, I thought I'd help out and start another one.

 

I've being talking to my brother today and I'm looking for a stop gap video card it has to be AGP and worth having my only real current selection is the Radeon card below. Since I cannot for the life of me find a decent AGP card instock in Brisbane anyway I though I might ask the geeker members what they think.

 

 

So hands up all who think he should upgrade:thumbsupsmileyanim:

Upgrade, yes!

Ahhh leave me alone Racem81 has already talked me into not buying the MSI 7600 since there apparently utter crap. Now I'm getting the Sapphire ATI HD2600XT 512M DDR3 DVD-DL VGA TV Out Directx10 which is only $115 dollars. So between that and the new cool master case I'm still only spending $300 and I'm happy with it.

 

I will build a complete brand new pc later this year with none of the components I'm currently using in this pc going into it. The only reason I decided to buy a new card today is the fact my 6800GT is on the way out its being randomly shutting down lately and my artefacting is getting out of control. Not to mention my case isn't well designed the much needed USB ports on the front are broken, the top intake fan starts and stops at will & I've had to remove the side panel due to heat issues.

 

So once I have my new pc built and a looking all pretty, new & colour coded to match the keyboard, screens & mouse this pc will move out into my living room where my laptop is currently living. It will continue to be used and abused for day to day internet use & allow me to play your good current day co-op and lan games like Warcraft 3, Worms, BF2 & so fourth.

 

I haven't even started to design this new gaming rig I'm talking about the only thing I have decided about it so far is that it will have a pretty black/silver & orange theme. I will base it around the new Logitech G15 which as you know has orange LED effects & is black/silver I will buy a new Logitech MX518 mouse if I can find one or I may have to change to something else. The only other thing I know I will be running is 2 monitors most likely I will buy two 19 inch Samsung screens. The case, mother board, video card etc etc I haven't even bothered looking into since it won't be for another 3 months at least.

yes thats right guys dont buy the crap that msi put out most of it is in the HP and ACER computers these days and its all built with the cheapest parts.

 

ive see a brand new 8800 msi blow up when it hit 40* the parts were that cheap they were using them on the 6xxx series a few years ago.

 

good luck with that vis ill chat to you a bit later...

Just playing with ya mate.

 

 

.... still only spending $300 and I'm happy with it.
