That's pretty darn nifty Gizensha. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... /smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo--> Makes me wish I was going to that college. I don't get to mess around with computer guts as much as I'd like.

Hmm. I have no superdeals to mention, although I did acquire:<br>A scanner (0)<br>A monitor (0)<br>Adobe Photoshop 5 (0.04)<br><br>Best proper computer deals.. probably from Tiny. Only computer I've seen with 400GB hard disk space in a decent desktop machine for a thousand.<br><br>And Giz: Speaking of fried components, anyone bought that Geforce 2 with the burst capacitors yet?

Not sold it yet. Maybe I should put it on ebay 'heavily damaged graphics card. As seen in the photo, three of the capacitors are bust. A mainboard has been known to get to over 100C when using this thing as the graphics card'. Wonder how much I'd be able to get for it.
