yup...they got it down!
Newest piece be the VGA card. got it last night because other one winked out...er...puked...while I was looking at it. The nerve.
This... XFX GeForce 8800GT XXX 512MB 670MHZ 1.95GHZ DDR3 PCI-E Dual DVI-I HDCP HDTV Out DIRECTX10 Video Card 1 $279.99 $279.99 ...WAS a high end card...five years ago (16 Feb 2008)
this...Gigabyte GeForce GTX 650 OC 1100MHZ 1GB 5.0GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI VGA PCI-E Video Card...is the new one.
131 bucks and twice the card.
I believe I have only a couple items left from original build.
sound engine and drives are due to fail.
note**...counting all fans total eleven. Changed VGA card and noise level is ridiculous quieter. ONE FAN on the VGA card made all the excessive noise. I am surprised at the difference....happy, too!

This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once.

It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder." (Albert Einstein)
