You are a POS. This guy asked for some advice, not a review and assessment of his HW. If you consider spending a few bucks to keep a decent video card running then you are an arrogant idiot who has too much of mommy's money to spend. When the fans went out on my GF2 GTS and GF3 Ti200 I replaced them both with Thermaltake video coolers I got from Fry's for around $7 each. These cards are still in use, just not in my primary machine.
first of all, did you even read my post? He has an old card. by today's standards it's a POS. that was not an attack of someone's character. i stated that I ALSO HAVE A POS card.
regarding having too much of mommy's money. if you look at the link i posted, you will see that i took a case fan and stuck it onto my existing radeon 8500. no one's going to argue that that's the cheapest solution possible. i am waiting until the spring to buy a card like many others on here, because i unfortunately, do not have mommy's money to spend. in case that's what matsuhisa was going to do, a bandaid job on the card fan would be the best way to get through 3 months.
i can see how you mistook my original comments, but i think you still went a little overboard with your reply.
next time why don't you exercise some self restraint.
