PNY 8800gts 640mb for $330

wafflez · 07-06-2007, 01:08 AM

Yay for dell!

Free shipping =3, it's the cheapest one I can find and I'm probably buying it. Your opinions?

hermeslyre · 07-06-2007, 01:14 AM

Is that a cut price or MIR? Cause if it's MIR you may never see the $50..

If it's simply a reduced price then that's pretty good. I was checking out Newegg for these yesterday and the cheapest I could find was $350 after MIR.

wafflez · 07-06-2007, 01:59 AM

it's a reduced price from dell, no shipping charge either =3.

I wish I would have saw that before I bought my 320MB from newegg for $280.

Pentium III - RAM 256 MB - HD 50 MB

yeah, who's gonna run this card on that kind of computer

wafflez · 07-06-2007, 02:22 AM

well I'm happy, now I managed to squeeze all this into $1490 with tax and shipping:
Core 2 Quad Q6600 (to be oc'd to 3.0ghz)
2gb 800mhz ram
Antec 900
8800gts 640mb
20" widescreenlcd with 1000:1
zalman 9700 cpu cooler
Gigabyte P35
Keyboard/Mouse
600 Watt PSU
250gb hard drive

That's a nice system. I would have got that gpu that kof posted earlier for not much more money

But that's a very good setup.

wafflez · 07-06-2007, 04:33 AM

I have a very strict budget of $1500, and with tax and shipping this came to $1490 hpi, also, the 8800 has dx10.

hermeslyre · 07-06-2007, 04:48 AM

That 640mb 8800gts is much more future proofed than the dual GPU 1950pro.

I mean he might want to play Crysis or Other DX10 games lol.

eww...pny. not too good a choice.

thats the exact card i got, although from amazon.com (had a gift card so it took a hundred off the cost). the card was defective. i sent it to PNY for replacement/repair, the replacement came in 2 weeks, the card (in its case) in a cardboard box with no padding or anything around it. the box had been squished on one corner and the card damaged. filled out a claim with UPS, they finished processing it in less then a week and PNY was supposed to send out a new one. a month later, i started sending e-mails to pny asking about it, they never replied to any of them. after another month went by, i mentioned contacting the BBB and FTC about it and they finally shipped me a new card, overnight. took more then 2 months overall just to get a working card. I have this odd feeling that they were trying to rip me off.
