Mmm mmm....nothing like the smell of a 8800 GTS roasting Friday morning. On the plus side I can still boot it, I just have to stare at 5 sets of blue and red lines evenly spaced out. I may go cross-eyed by weekend's end, but fuck it - its worth it!
Ordered an eVGA GTX 285 off of Newegg and sprung for $30 overnight shipping - but its going to be a hell of a long weekend.
And FYI - don't alt tab out of Empire Total War mid battle with 185.20 drivers or bad things will happen. In the middle of an EPIC fucking battle too. My luck.
Time to get really good at Wii tennis over the weekend and probably dislocate a shoulder.
Of course this couldn't have happened YESTERDAY so I could have the replacement by today. Nope..can't fucking have that.....

Heh my other pc with a 9800xt still working for a long time now, the fan broke down years ago, but all I did was glue 2* 80 size fans against the sound cards pcb boards edge and the 9800xt's edge one sucking one blowing.
And I rest another 80 size fan on top at and angle leaning over the card against the copper coils of the cpu heatsink lol. Hasnt failed me yet ever.. still going plays sims 3 and shooters all day long no problem for my kid...
Quite honestly the longest and hardest wearing card ive ever owned for sure.

Iv'e never had ANY electronic failures ever, guess i'm lucky! Bet it sucks!
Squirrely: Now come on y'all. We can't waste time arguing. There could still be survivors out there. We need to hunt them down, and kill them.
Beary: How about we kill them, and then rape their bodies so we can use their blood as lubricant.

You mean PC-related ? Because I still remember that dildo accident you were telling me about. How did that work out in the end ? Stitches ?

Uhm, yeah..
Well, it drilled itself up trough my rectum! The doctors never found it, and now when I do the number 2; there is shit mixed with blood.
I don't know, not that worried. Just sad I lost it, because that was one sweet dildo!
