Nah man, you've gotta look around, there have been Hd3870's and 8800gt's being sold by dell for $200-210. And yeah, if you want high-end then I suppose you've gotta wait a little longer. Some people think multi gpu's are going to be the next evolution though, and as Crossfire/SLI improves it will become a viable solution. But still, 200$ for the amount of performance the 8800gt/HD3870 deliver is simply awesome. It should be good enough to tide you over till something better comes out.

All the deals I seen were either OOS before I could order, or had "generally ships within 1-2 weeks" type thingy... When I ordered by card through BB last year, it said the same thing and I waited over 1 month to get it. That aint my thing. :D

very nice work.

Only thing is, your going to want a bigger radiator in the future, and your going to want to mod it again. :p


Good luck!

Nice job. I looked at the pictures first and wondered how your father did such nice metal work. :p
I was actually planning on doing something similar for a MCR320 radiator on the top of my P182. I think I'll do a combination of your shroud and Thilan's top mod.
And now I know wood will look pretty good. Now it's time to find a good shop around here....

You will have to let us know how everything turns out... Be sure to post pictures when it is done! :D
