I paid about $580 for each of mine, but the nice thing (not for me) is they will be coming down in price

theonedub - you should be able to find one for around $500 or so....

After the IRE discount there were a lot of them floating around locally but that was pre-price drop :laugh:

I didn't feel right letting people triple up on me and possibly being out the warranty if it was from IRE and not a retail chip.

I'm always looking for a great deal though. If I see one sub $475 I think I will buy asap.

They are pretty sweet cpu's :toast:

This has been a shitty day..

I built the 970 today, but came home to my dog dying... We tried to rush him to the animal hospital, but his injuries were to bad.. :cry:

Radical_Edward · Feb 25, 2011

What happened? If you don't mind me asking?

Oh crap dude, I am very, very sorry to hear that man :cry:

I would be devastated if something happened to my old lab

Man, pets are like children and a very important part of one's family. Dude, my heart breaks for you man. About brings tears to my eyes just hearing this and knowing the pain you and your family is going through............

Yes. If you're able to talk about it.

A bigger dog had got loose, and attacked my much smaller dog....

Radical_Edward · Feb 25, 2011

0.o

I'm sorry. Did you report them to the proper authorities? The owners of the other dog are at fault and I'd make sure to at least have a nice long talk with them.

I hope things go better for you soon, I hate loosing loved ones and I know how it feels all to well....

Mindweaver · Feb 25, 2011

I'm to upset right now.... :cry:

Thanks guys for asking.. :cry:

Damn bro, your pets are part of the family man, it's like loosing someone close to you. I'm really sorry this happened and I hope you and your family can recover from this as quickly as possible. I'm really sorry.

That almost happened to my uncle once. He has one of those little dogs as well, and he was running around outside with us while we were working on the house. The neighbor's big dog came blundering over, but we both caught it in time to prevent any issues. I feel for you, I know what it's like to pre-maturely lose a pet; when I was a kid my dog broke his chain got slammed by a car while I was at school one day.

mstenholm · Feb 25, 2011

Sorry to hear that Mindweaver

I have a two year lab pup and he is my family. I have always had a good family dog and have felt very lucky to have such great companions. I am sorry to hear about your loss

twilyth · Feb 25, 2011

The other dog is viscous and should be put down. Sorry. Dogs that aggressive need to be secured. If not, they have to be removed and their owners held responsible - criminally and civilly.

I agree 100%!!!!! That is unacceptable in my book!!!

I got a I7 920 on the way to replace my dual core CPU! get ready for better pointS!

KieX · Feb 25, 2011

Reading the last few posts shows how bittersweet life can be sometimes. :ohwell:

Sorry to hear about your dog Mind

Good to hear Brandon getting a new cpu and welcome to all the newcomers :toast:

-
FIH The Don should soon be getting the i5 760 I was using as main rig before. Hopefully it will serve him as well as it did me. Got a replacement 2600K for it, should have that crunching tomorrow. Just waiting on another sale to go through for the money to get the last 2600K for my farm.

Been a long ass week at work, so I'll be offline getting these computers crunching and drinking some nice cold beer to enjoy the 2 days of rest that are the weekend.

twilyth · Feb 25, 2011

MW: When you're ready, you might feel better talking to other people who have experienced the same thing.

Here is a very short link that talks about how to deal with the loss of a pet.

Here is a link to many other resources relating to the loss of a pet. The number of sites dealing with the issue is really astounding. Please take a moment to check it out - especially the "discussion and support groups" section near the bottom.

edit - you shouldn't try to deal with the anger and grief on your own. There are others out there who can help. Please use them.

Mindweaver · Feb 25, 2011

It was very hard, but i just buried my dog Ty... :cry:

It's been very tuff today, but i was able to finish my i7 970 build today... It's updating now and crunching strong... Thanks for all the kind word guys! I'm grateful to be apart of such a great team! KeiX that beer sounds good I think i'll have a few myself.

sorry about your DOG MW! mine got hit by a car last month

BinaryMage · Feb 26, 2011

I'm so sorry about your dog, mindweaver. Pets are wonderful friends, and losing one is a awful experience. Just remember all the fun you had together! My condolences.

HammerON · Feb 27, 2011

I am going to Phoenix tonight to enjoy some warm weather for a week and to visit the parents. Both i7 970's are still crunching away at home, however the lappy is with me and I have disabled Boinc for the time being. So my numbers will be down by about 1,700 per day for a week.

stinger608 · Feb 27, 2011

Holy crap Hammer, that is quite a trip from Alaska man. Going to be a heck of a lot different climate. LOL

HammerON · Feb 27, 2011

Yeah - I am looking forward to a little warmer weather
