I am going to be away for a little while, or it might be longer. My computer just BBQed my video card. Or maybe it commited suicide, lol. Anyways, it smelled pretty nice. Burning transistors smell quite good. lol

Im using my old Radon 7200 for now, which isn't supported.

I was suppose to get my ATI All In Wonder 9700, but due to my great luck, I was ripped off, and it was never got shipped to me. I got it on ebay. I might have just wiped my ass with that money, same effect.
The weird part is, that the seller had over 200 experince points, thats over 200 successful transactions, what the hell happened?

man, im am a lucky bastard!

I don't do e-bay anymore...as I hear about people getting screwed all the time, sure you can file complaints, etc, but how often do they actually get resolved? It's virtually impossible to take on an e-bay seller, as they come and go so quickly.

If you want to buy something "new"...get it from a store or on-line company...I just think you're taking a huge chance with e-bay.
I treat an e-bay purchase like placing a bet at a casino...if you get lucky, that's great, if you get screwed, oh well...that's (1st) life...

I did! They will refund me the price-$40, some weird processing fee. I bought tons of things on ebay, never had a problem. Maybe something "tragic" happened on the seller's end. Wife, or kids got killed or a natural disaster. Who knows....
