Yeah, a guy at work I know, used to have one, loved driving it, but after it took a dump on him, and he had enough with fixing it, he eventually broke down and bought an early 2000's Chevy Tahoe instead. But the Commanche was a decent looking truck, different looking, but they were still nice.

Yea, the main problem with them is age and trying to find parts.

That's the whole reason mine is off the road - a little of little things need to be fixed, though it's drivable.

I'll be honest though, I give that truck hell when I drive it, hence why i'm always fixing it.

Solo, can't remember if your on OCN or not, but saw this looking through their marketplace tonight...

Galaxy GTX 480 for sale! *Last Price Drop*



...SLI?

[ShyguyXPC]

My finger keeps wanting to hit the mouse button to send a PM, someone has a 560 Ti FPB for $170 on OCN, and I WANT to nab one, to run in SLI with my current card... but I'm hesitant in doing so right now... with rumors of the 660 being out at the end of the month, but then I keep reading that it may be pushed off till July-August some time...


if there was just SOME level of confirmed release date Range I could more easily decide, but I went through this a year and half ago when I bought the 470, weeks later the 560 Ti FINALLY came out...

Now I'm sitting here with a 560 Ti, and wanting a 2nd, but also on the heels of release time of the 660.

I saw some good deals on GTX 570 and 580's on OCN, but if the 660 is going to be near 570/580 performance for 570 pricing and with less power usage than the 560 Ti (since the 670 already is 560 Ti Power range)...

Thinking I could sell the 470 and grab a 660 for my system, put the 560 Ti in my brothers PC.

He already shipped out last night to Kuwait for a few months, possibly longer, so he won't be able to use the PC anyways, if I had gotten it done and sent down to him. As he was on Training for a few weeks, got back for a week or so and then headed out to Virginia for a few days before they shipped out (flew over) to Kuwait.


so, gives me some time to get his rig built, in the meantime, been thinking of selling the 470 and get something a bit quieter/similar performance range, or whatever.


but I was figuring around $150 or so for the 470, which would be fine, if the 660 was around $300 mark, I could easily get one with that then.

either way, I'm looking at selling the 470 soon here.

hell, I'm even thinking of selling the 285 if I can. maybe get enough to nab a 670 instead.

the step up is finally on the move.. I'm hoping to see the new 680 next week!

[ShyguyXPC]

Post some pics and benches when you do get it.

The best feature about PC Upgrade Procrastinator is that in it we can display columns at their actual width. If overall width of visible columns in a header exceeds size of visible grid area, the grid displays a horizontal scroll bar that supports two modes of work.

Hopefully someone comes along with the Ban Hammer swings it hard, knocks you out the door and slams on your arse on the way out.

Sometimes I think these A-hole spammers have me marked or something, look for my posts and threads, and spam in them...

Some Pics? If so, sure, can view them while at work today on my break, thank goodness for a decent phone now, I love my HTC Evo 4G, mainly use the 3G mode, but 1.2GHz Dual Core, and 4.3" display, and plenty of storage with the 8GB card that came with it.

Ordered my new 32GB Class 10 card last night, so hopefully next week sometime I'll have that.

its the most storage my phone will accept... though not sure if it supports the new 64GB MicroSDXC cards?

but thats also why I have Dropbox, basic 2GB storage, but still, got some pics and stuff stored on that to access from work.

Ha, I was looking at that and really considering it... Also, Newegg dropped my evga model now down to $199 new.... There are no cards under 200 that come close... really wish i had spent the extra 30 bucks and bought a 990 chipset instead

Anyone in the states looking for a Good SSD Deal right now, check this out: Verbatim 47474 2.5-inch SATA II Internal Solid State Drive 128GB SSD with 3.5-inch Adapter-Best Computer Online Store - Buy with Discount Prices from Houston Texas-Directron.com

Its SATA II only, but for the price, can't beat it.

I have to wait till we get paid friday, thanks to the damn corporate offices being closed for tomorrow, they are supposed to delay our checks till friday instead of Thursday, so hopefully its still available by then.

ran across that deal while looking to see what they had for sales for the holiday, since Newegg didn't have much worth anything, already looked through Geeks.com and not much there either.


Though for a while they, geeks.com, have had some decent deals on Intel Socket 771 Quad core Xeon's, problem is finding some boards that will take them for cheap. Have been looking for a Dual Socket 771 board for cheap, but can't seem to find one, that at least has a single PCIe x16 slot on it. AND, something that doesn't require FB-DIMM's.

Solo, EVGA B-Stock 480 for $180:

EVGA | Products | Product List

in stock.

Also some nice deals on some other cards of theirs, GTX 560 Ti DS, $200 (can still SLI that with my FPB model, would just have to clock the FPB to 900, or drop the DS down to 850).

The 448 Core 560 Ti's are still a bit high in price for Refurbs, practically almost new pricing which is a bit of a surprise.


but that GTX 460 Superclock for $90 is really appealing.

Yea, I was looking at that 460 as well for a secondary gaming rig. (or as a physx card)

I'm really regretting not getting a 990fx chipset right about now, too...SLI 480's would have been plenty of power for this rig

[ShyguyXPC]

missed out on this deal I guess...

Newegg.com - Open Box: Galaxy 67NPH6DV5ZVX GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Was probably sold today while I was working all day as well, LOL.
