'oh god: you devil' (good vid card deal)

since my mind has been churning with movie thoughts this evening that random movie sprung into my head while i was thinking of a post title for the insane deal i got today. i headed to fry's electronics on my lunchbreak today to pick up either stalker 27.99 or command and conquer 3 for 35-40. unfortunatley they were out of copies of stalker even though their comp said 1 in stock and they hadn't either recieved or bother to stalk cc3. so i was dismayed and decided to head over to the video card section to dream. i then saw the evga 7800 gs agp card. it was 179.00 with a 50.00 rebate. i couldn't say no to that even though i had promised to strugle on with my current card/system 'til i built a new one in a year more or less. i've noticed a diffrence in nightwatch as i can max everything, but that's not a real graphic intesive game so i'll have to wait and see how it fares with others. i just uninstalled spellforce 2 after finishing it as with saves it took ~20 gigs and i have 3.5 dvds of saved games. i think it rivals nwn2 for the savehog award!

so the moral of that story is if you have an old agp system check out frys!
or its parent? company outpost.com. i just checked and they have it available online!

sorry, guess i caught the last day of the sale. newegg has it on sale too but not for the same great price. the other selling point for me is that my 350 watt power supply would run it unlike the bfg one which also was on sale a few months back.

looks like their rebate is back at fry's/ outpost.com. i always forget the fry's has a wierd sales schedule. their ad comes out on fridays in a big 4 pager in the newspaper, but there sales only run through tuesday. so i guess wednesday and thursday are 'dead' days.
