That kind of occurred to me as well. I think $40 isn't worth a pissed customer. But then I've had my own good experience with eVGA, so even hearing something like this...I'm still buying their products.
I agree completely. This is just an example of good customer service in one particular case. While it may or may not happen again, it's still a pretty cool thing they did when they didn't have to.
Maybe, but I did actually buy both cards from Newegg and registered them. Maybe eVGA has no problem with this. I would like to see if someone else can do this as well.
I can honestly say that because of this, I'll be buying eVGA video cards from now on.

See the thing is, he's actually a guy that other people go to in order to get tech support. If he built the thing himself (he's built other computers for himself, like 5 years ago) he's be able to troubleshoot it. He's just going through a mild period of retardation.
He also sucks at flying...
The problem is that he could get a much coooooooooooler desktop rig for $2300.
I say that he needs a desktop. He plays Bf2 exclusively. He will, in all likelyhood, play BF 2142.
His WIFE is getting a laptop, he needs a desktop. She would probably be happy with a Fisher Price learning...
How would you reply if this was YOUR friend?

"I'm going with a gaming laptop. I still have no money though. Look around and find me a GO 7900 gtx 512 meg video card for a laptop. If I can find one I'm going to go with the Inspiron E1705. It's the exact same laptop as...
Honestly, they do not like the Wiggles. Well, the 2 year old doesn't, but the 2 month old...well....hard to say what he likes.
Little Einsteins, Max and Ruby, Diego, Dora, Tellytubbies, Family Guy (oddly enough)...all stuff he likes.
I've got the DVD's, but everytime we start up the player, we have to go through the whole stupid preview process - you know...10 minutes of "Hey this is coming out next month!" stuff.
Any ideas on what software I can get to copy the actual cartoon to a blank DVD and kill the preview crap in...
I just went to a custom paint shop in the Omaha area that specializes (duh) in custom car jobs...flames, pinstriping and so on.
was quoted 100 for a desktop prep work...special chemical that bonds the paint to the computer chassis....and 200-300 for a mirrored finish in black (very sweet...
He mostly just plays EQ2, way too much in my opinion, but he's an adult.
He has already, on my recommendation, picked up a Gigabyte Aurora for the case. I like it, very much.
What we had in mind is figuring out a solution so he can play two EQ2 accounts at the same time, using both...
Yeah I don't understand this much either. I traded my 9 month old 7800 GTX, an ASUS A8V-E Deluxe Mobo that I had laying around and a PSU for a new 7900 GT so I could spend just an extra $300 and get SLI goodness instead of paying the rediculous price for a 7800 GTX. Plus I helped a friend get...
...a clean white case?
Glossy white, with maybe blue UV fans, would stand out.
How hard would it be to get something like the Gigabyte Aurora in white? Get it sandblasted, painted at an auto shop maybe?
Not necessarily!
I have the DFI LanParty SLI-DR that I picked up last August, along with a solo 7800 GTX.
I am building a computer for a friend of mine, and am going to give him the 7800 GTX, a MOBO and a power supply in exchange for a brand new 7900 GT.
I ordered that, then got the...
Does it increase/decrease the number of attackers? The loot?
Or does it just raise the stats on the creatures you face? IE: More hit points? And how would this affect leveling/stat multipliers?
If it's taking you 4 fireballs to kill something at high difficulty, you're using that...
I've been looking for a DVD burner that comes with the latest version of Nero (have a lot of pictures to store)....can anyone point me in the right direction? Maybe with a nice link?
Makes more sense to get the burner and the software instead of the (more expensive) software...doesn't it?
DICE could solve the problem with people thinking certain vehicles and planes are overpowered with one simple addition....
Let the server operator choose which vehicles are available on a map.
Don't like planes? Play on a no-plane server. Like planes? Play on a server that allows 4...
I think it's operation smoke screen....
Total chaos. There has to be like 5 or 6 armor/mobile AA for each side, tons of vehicles, 2 heli's on each side....bases that are more like forts...(the windmill farm base is pretty easy to defend...why did we lose it so often?)....lots of fun...
He wants to stay as close to $800 that he can. I will not overclock anything.
He already has a DVD burner, a keyboard+mouse, and a monitor.
I will be selling him 2 gigs (4x512) corsair valueselect ram for $70, and a Thermaltake Silent Purepower 480 for $25.
Graphics card will be: Evga...
Nebraska Furniture Mart has those three titles this week for 32.99 each.
Picked up F.E.A.R.
Not sure if you can order these online or via the phone...give it a try if the deal is worth it for you.
Performance PC's do great sleeving work. I would buy fans and so on from them again. I hate led fans that require molex connectors.
I did buy a Hyper 580w PSU from them...first one was DOA. RMA'ed it, got the next one, which had obviously been opened and tested. Put it in, and it worked...
Either Pricewatch sucks or that's the lowest price I could find with google.
I got the free shipping (7-9 days). Don't care if it takes a few more days. Going to convert an old Dell into a media center. :)
Picked it up. Been looking for something like this for a while now.
If you do pick this up and are looking for PVR software, go with SAGE TV software instead of Snapstream's Beyond TV. SageTV supports the TV-out function of the PVR 350, Snapsteam (from what I understand) does not.
What's the best sound card to throw in there if all I want is for the TV to play sound out of it's own speakers?
What I want: I throw a DVD into the PC and it plays on the TV...and sound comes from the TV.
What plugs/wires/etc would I need?
Ok, so I'll go with the basic DFI Ultra then. :) Thanks.
So the lower timings of the OCZ ram was slower?
If you had to choose, would you get:
OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Platinum System Memory - Retail
Or....
OCZ Titanium 2GB (2...
Ok so you have the crucial valueram then....I've got 4X512 of that sitting around.
Were you able to basically plug everything into the board and get it working right then? Or did you have to adjust the ram voltages?
I was reading on DFI-Street that the corsair valueram is really bad with...
You can stretch your budget a bit if you buy a piece at a time, and if you have components from older computers that you can re-use like monitors....
For example....buy a case and PSU that you like.
Month later, buy a hard drive
Month later, buy a motherboard and ram
Month later, buy...
If I am not going to be using SLI, is there any reason to get their SLI boards?
Other than SLI what's the difference between
DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D ATX AMD Motherboard
for $119 and
DFI Lanparty nf4 SLI-DR
for $195?
Basically....I'm going to get a DFI. I have an EVGA...
Yeah it's just the base dell speaker from like 3 years ago. Doesn't even have a subwoofer.
But honestly, I've never been able to tell the difference between speakers much. Just don't have the ear for it.
To be honest, I got the Hiper PSU for its looks. It's the blue one and went with the silver/blue color scheme. The modular wire connects feel as well-made as the Wavemaster case. It really looks nice: blue, with silver LED fans. Mostly what I was concerned about was having enough 12V to run...
Yeah the lights are pretty bright. But they're facing a file cabinet to the left, so it's not bugging me at all.
I was going for a silver/blue theme.
Next computer I put together I'm going to go with a white/silver. Going to get a nice case, strip it and paint it. I just have to A)...
