Awesome card, but I'd rather have a $360 9800p. And all the other stuff I could buy /w the left over cash.

Overclock a 9800pro and perform better and look better doing it. What a ripoff, lets spend a grand so we can't play new games.

I've just heard some junky tramp on the street saying he was going to spend a grand on an nVidea card. I didn't believe him at the time but now I know he was telling the truth. I told him I had a 9800Pro and he cried

I bet you would

But lets face it, one could buy 3 9800pro for it and still have some spare money for a HD or 512mb stick.

CNC? I know a shop that has one of those, not sure how to use it, but they would let me use it after hours as long as I didn't mess it up. Any (free) information out there on how to use one, and diagrams of a waterblock for a r9800pro 256M?
