I think this is like the 5th time that you've sold something that you previously owned just to buy it again

 

[NosBoost300]

i think i've only done that with the 8800gtx,6800gs, and x1900xt(well now its an xtx.. but i guess if you consider the x1900xt...to the x1950xtx.. and now the x1900xtx.. maybe...), so this makes number 4(or possibly 5 and 6 )... thanks for paying attention.. its nice to know i have fans

awesome heatpipes on that board. i love my asus.

 

[Peter.Cort]

the MSI p45 board has sweeter heatpipes, the whole circu-cool thing. but yeah, asus makes nice boards when they don't suck.....

yeah i thought about buying an MSI p45 platinum but was a little concerned about the heatpipe hitting my cooler. pretty cool looking, though.
