Well crap, shit, damn it! Had the frigging clutch go out in my damn Toyota late yesterday on the way home from work........Really, really bad timing to be honest.
Needless to say, the parts are going to cost me about $250, of which I don't have naturally
So........It looks as though I am going to have to sell my newly purchased XFX HD5870 video card
Just to try and get some funds up. This sucks, but I guess a person has to do what a person has to do
I am thinking that I will sell it for $230 shipped. This has the transferable warranty so it would be a lifetime warranty to the purchaser. I just got the card on Monday of this week, and purchased the card from NFlesher here on TPU. When I received the card it didn't even have any dust on the fan blades.
He said that it only ran for about 5 hours before he sold it. I believe him due to the fact that there was no dust on it at all. I have only ran the card since Tuesday evening, so the total time on the card is about 53 hours or so. I just now pulled the card and put my old HD4870 back in. Damn this sucks, I really wanted to be able to do some gaming with this card
Needless to say, I was thinking of offering this to anyone on the crunching team first before putting it up in the "for sale" area of the forums.
Talk to ya all soon.
Dano
P.S. Nflesher has the original warranty, and I will contact him on whoever purchases the card. Also I would ship it via USPS Priority Mail insured with delivery tracking confirmation number. I will also PM a picture of the card, box, and all accessories (none of which have been opened).
