I saw this deal while scouting for my recent graphics card purchase (6670). I liked the deal until I heard about the jet sound. I am a fan of the Jets (Tebow), but I don't think they would fit in my tiny carpeted room. ;)

Here is what I did. I bought an Antec VP-450 for 34.98 (free shipping). http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004IZN3K2 At the same time I got the GIGABYTE Radeon HD 6670 1GB DDR3 for $69.99 (free shipping). There is a $20 rebate as well. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MED9X4

I can get a Sapphire 6670 1gb DDR3 with Dirt 3 for $64.99 (before $10.00 rebate). $6.98 shipping. Or I can get a Gigabyte 6670 1gb DDR3 with no game for $69.99 (before $20.00 rebate). Free shipping. Is one better than the other? Dirt 3 would be a nice add-on, but I don't really need it.

$98. PSU will be upgraded.

Hey guys, just a quick question. What would yal think of a refurbished BFG Tech NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 1GB?

Here is what happened. I had a dell laptop that had that card in it. I was able to play NBA2k12, mlb2k11, and civ 4 on it while the laptop was hooked up to that monitor. The laptop's motherboard crashed, i think, and I am left with an awesome monitor with no pc. Thankfully the hard drive was ok!

Could yal tell me how your suggestions compare to the Mobility Radeon HD 3650? My laptop had that as it's graphic card.

I will be upgrading the power supply eventually, by the time that happens I might be able to afford a higher priced card. Neither one will be happening yet. What do yal think of the computer itself? It is the one I posted about a few months ago...

Hi folks! I would really like some input into a gpu that would work well for what I have just bought. System Specifications: I. Processor/CPU: i3-2120 II. Current Graphics Card: Normal i3 specs III. Display Resolution: 1900*1200 IV. Power Supply Unit Specification (Brand, Wattage...

Ah! Thank you for finding that info! Sounds like a revitalized tech from the early 90s. I remember computers when they had a turbo button. LOL!

Hey folks! Over on Lenovo's outlet they have their K300b Towers on sale. http://outlet.lenovo.com/desktops.html?cpu_speed=38&memory_capacity=103 These puppies have a power switch designed for gaming. Now I am wondering if the PSU is upgradable and if so, is there a certain type I would have...

I thank you for the review piasabird! I am still leaning towards Lenovo despite your warning about the power supply, since I will be replacing the power supply and adding a video card. I have no need for a monitor so that is not a problem. I currently own a Dell Laptop and am pleased with it...

Hey gurus! I am wondering if you know of any other Manufacture outlets? Here are the ones I know about. Dell HP Lenovo I am leaning towards buying from the Lenovo outlet. What do you guys think about Lenovo computers?

WOW! I really did get left in the dust. I bought an Acer computer a few years ago and bought a graphics card later on, not knowing I needed to upgrade the power supply. I sold it to one of the guys in church. The graphics card burnt, literally, a few weeks later. I felt bad for him. Thankfully I...

Thanks! That does help a little! The build I mentioned is from the Dell outlet. I am noticing something listed on the Newegg power supplies. PCI-Express Connector: What exactly does this mean and do most modern express cards need to be connected directly to the power supply rather than...
