Ah! Video card shipped in an envelope. This will be added to the jonnyGURU mishaps collection. 😀

hahahahahah :thumbsup:

Too bad you dont have an archive of your stories. 🙂

I don't?

How'd you get to the page? If you go to jonnyGURU.com and scroll down, the whole bottom half is links to my stories.

I love your stories. 🙂

"Well, I just bought the RAM from Circuit City last week."

Brilliant!

Ok, so I'm getting this nifty Leadtek 6800 Ultra. This is a fairly expensive piece of equipment. The person sending it to me, however, could not find the box that it came in. If you are this person, do you:

A) Find a box, stuff it with padding, and shove the card in
B) Stick a stamp to the card's heatsink and drop it in a mailbox
or
C) Wrap it in a couple layers of bubble wrap, stuff it in a flexible mailer, and send it thru FedEX

Hint: My sender went with C, which stands for DOA. =)

Pics of the tradgedy!

how about:

D) Find a smaller envelope and fold the video card in half.

I mean sure it takes a vice and a pair of pliers but once you hear that first snap, it's all downhill from there.
