The amount of $$$ spent on hardware by AH community = Lots

The amount of time to fix this driver or that bios or this error = Lots & lots

People still thinking a DirectX 6 game looks good = priceless

While the number of slots are no problem to me (at least for now) what really turned me off to the 6800 was the power requirements. It just baffles me that the X800, nearly the same in performance, requires much less power. Maybe its just me but 450W is quite a bit of power.

I guess Im just wierd like that.

Built my PC earlier this year (March) with parts bought from Newegg for a total of $1,758.

My only loss from AH? $15 a month.
