Hey, why no comments?

I was just curious as to why so many views of my post yet not even one comment?

Do you guys own stock at NewEgg or at Fry's Electronics or what?

its a good deal, but just buy a good video card like an hd3850 and it should destroy games (if you want to)

but HP's suck also that thing is refurbished

Or try to get the new 9600GT 512MB. It is an excellent video card for the money
