Nah, not abused at all. I mainly just wanted to go back down to a single card. Gave up on waiting for a 5970 and newegg finally got xfx 5870s back in stock so i jumped on one. The main reason i switched though is i plan on selling the 30" dell and getting 3 new 24" mons for eyefinity.
NOICE! I ought to just postpone my duaol 4870's and pick up a 5870..
The hardware junkies are at it again! I just picked up an OCZ Vertax SSD for $100 (after $30 rebate).. Still a good deal.. Just gotta get a darn holder for it now.. :\
Ya, i'm in the process of trying to find monitors. You'd be suprised how hard it is to find a 24" monitor with a swivel mount and display port. So far the only thing i have found that fits the bill is the dell 24" but they're 500+ each
