    It's here!!!

    Woohoooo!!!:dance: :dance: :dance: :drool:

    It got here!:pray: :pray: :pray: :o :D :D :D

    Box was in quite bad shape. It is a very good thing you packed the card verticaly, Because the right side of the box was bent almost in half!:shock: 'Just' missing the socket pins.:faint:

    This card is a BEAST! It weighs a ton!!!:haha: :haha: :haha:

    I gonna need a new psu for sure, trinity only has a 500 watt with only one six pin pci connector in her now.:doh: Thinking on getting a silverstone 650-750 watt modular psu. That ok? Who makes the best quality psu's these days?:think:

    Thanks again to TechARP and all the sponsers that made this great contest possible!!!:wave: :arp: 1

    OMG... It was so badly dented????? :shock: :shock:

    Please test the card soon. I hope it's working!!! :pray: :pray:

    Don't worry about the PSU. I'm using a 550W PSU and even it's more than enough to supply the GTX 295 (with two 8-pin power connectors). Just get a Molex to 8-pin power converter and you are ready to go! :beer:

    Lacus came by today to collect his t-shirts. Unfortunately, I was not in much of a talking mood. Had an incredibly bad toothache (again!!!!). So bad I couldn't actually think! :wall: :wall:

    Thanks for dropping by, Lacus!! And I hope the t-shirt fits your brother! :wave: :wave:

    Ok will give that a try first.:) Never had an ati card before.:shifty: Should I uninstall everything nvidia before putting the 2900xt in my pc? Or just plug and play...?

    It's best to uninstall your NVIDIA graphics driver first before swapping to the ATI card. Don't forget to download the latest ATI Catalyst driver first! :thumb:
