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. =)

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

I'll take it. The DVI output might still work....

They're both DVI outputs... both give that same result (unless you were referring to how the connection spits out seperate analog and digital signals.)

The fan is making an insanely disturbing noise as well tho, so it's not something that I would trust.
