They look pretty good, and for $90 a piece you can't really go wrong. You planning on getting three if you do?

i'm gonna get 2 for now because i know i'll be able to fit that under my loft bed with my desk at college in my dorm. if i can fit a third one and still be practical, i'll just buy it at full price since i'm getting such a good deal on these

Ahh yea, I was just saying three as two really sucks for gaming with the middle being a bezel lol, but then I remembered you'd surely be able to set it to Single Display Performance (what nVidia calls it) for gaming. I'm not sure what or how AMD manages their cards, I don't use 'em never have an' never will.

i really enjoy AMD cards. i honestly have no idea why people hate them so much, going into engineering, i wanted the capability to have A LOT of multiple displays as i need more work area, so i went with them and have never regretted that decision

Once somebody's been burned by a company (card(s) failed, driver failures, bad customer rep. incidents, etc.), they're less likely to stick with them, and when they hear of others having had issues with them, it cements in that decision to dislike that company. AMD is a good choice for you because of your requirements and wants, whereas for me I've never had anything go wrong with my nVidia cards and I like everything provided by them (features and such) so I see no point in switching to AMD. Part of my decision not to is also because I hear alot of bad things about them... so I'm sort of my own case in point. Lol.

tongue.gif i'm not on any side (red or green) if i build a computer that is going to be for gaming ONLY, then it'll have NVIDIA, but as that likely won't happen until i make 6 figures a year (USD) it'll probably be AMD cards unless there are huge improvements in NVIDIA's multi display options

UPDATE: "whats the word man?" the WORDS are EL Tape.


This stuff is really cool because its so thin! now if you remember correctly i couple posts ago i said that it didn't need an adapter, well it turns out it does. BUT ITS SO TINY!!!! you can see the black box DIRECTLY behind the tape in the image

450

now what makes EL tape so special though is its ability to glow just like EL wire
Here is an image of it lit up when it is in the light
450

Now for what everyone wants to see!
