MSI NBOX N5900 ULTRA - $639.99

[toeng]

WOW ... I was so excited after reading the review of MSI NBOX N5900 from PCStats and hardwarezone .. did a lil research and come up with this:

MSI Nbox N5900 Ultra 256MB - $639.99

I think the XFX FX5900 Ultra is a better choice considering you can pocket the ~$150 difference and buy your wife a nice new bracelet to make her less *shock* when she receives the credit card bill this month 😀

Do people actually spend that much on gaming cards these days? I don't see the point.

Good Lord, what a complete waste of money.

 

[axskkyline]

exactly.. 639.99 u can get a deall 2.6 or systerm with radeon 9800 np

 

[axskkyline]

i am sure that's a better way to spend money then on a card =p ... well at least for me it is

I think I will wait for it to drop to less than $200... (Don't they all? 😀 )

The question is, does it sound more like a lawnmower or a jet engine?

I think MSI screwed up on this release, twin fans and 4 games with a mouse do not justify this cards higher price.

I think I would rather have a 9800 256 for $500.

I think I'd rather wait until a 9700 or 9800 pro gets to be around $100 in 8-12 months. My Geforce4 Ti4200 is still slinging the games I play along *just fine* 🙂

the 9700 pro dropped from like $350 when it was released to $250+ nowadays, only a $100 in a year

 

[toeng]

So it'll take 6 years for MSI NBOX to drop to $100??? OMG :brokenheart:

 

[Mltsao]

lol, my computer is worth less than this card.
