Lol, I'm in a rich-ish area of Socal. For 90k, I'd rather get a used, tuned up GTR or something similar...

Where in So Cal? I'm in the North Orange County area. I see nice cars around here all the time, my neighbor leases a Maserati Quattroporte to give you an idea. :lol:

I'm just going say around San Bernardino/Riverside. Close enough. I see Porche's and ferrari's every day, and it makes me a little angry, since people be throwing money around. Some guy got a Masarati for 30-40k at school somehow. We checked the VIN and it matched, but stil....

Lol... I say I like the tesla and everyone loses their minds! yeah I'm also in a very nice part of SoCal.

Interesting, I just went to a show at the Riverside Municipal Auditorium last week. I think getting a Maserati for someone still in high school seems a bit excessive. Reminds me of Breaking Bad when Walt was washing a Corvette that belonged to one of his students. :lol:

Get the cm v750 or v850. Gold, nice amperage, extremely reliable, and overall sexy psu! Not overpriced either.

I wound up getting the EVGA G2 850W, it was on sale at NCIX for $114. Not too bad of a deal. It's not the Seasonic deal that Newegg had but I'm still getting a quality supply

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Nice! Black Friday would be way too long to wait, so you got a great deal. Hope it turns out good!

Yeah I should get it some time next week so I will post results then.

Nice G-Unit . EVGA has some really nice red sleeved cables on Newegg for $80. I saw a build on Pcpartpicker use them and it really cleaned alot of things up. Hope they go on sale on Black Friday.

Really nice...Red doesnt fit too well in my build but blue will

Having red sleeved cables kind of goes against the color scheme I'm trying to achieve. I think they had white ones available on EVGA's website but I'm fine with the extensions for now, I may get those some time later.

 

[ImDaBaron]

Yeah they are expensive. 90 dollars for cables is pricey. You can get white ones on Newegg. I'll most likely go with Black of Blue. I just hate how there are red power cables for the GPU and everything is black

Just saw a tesla today lol. Looked HAWT. Anyway, Tiny, ALL ELECTRICS arent practical? The model s goes 265 miles on an 85% charge.

The Passat Diesel can do 800 miles on one tank. And it only takes 3 minutes to fill up, where as you have to change a Tesla overnight.

I'm not saying they aren't practical, because in some situations, they make great sense. (City driving). All I am saying is that until they can exist without hurting the environment more than a gasoline or diesel model, I see no real point for them to exist.

Despite being electric they have a SIGNIFICANTLY worse environmental impact than a Gas/diesel car does over the course of driving it 250k miles. That's my issue with them.

 

[Mirakledba]

Im chill as snoop dog. Anyway, please delete all of this lol

Well, I've pulled the HD7970 out of Omega; I think I will list it for sale.

I'm getting ready to get a 970 in the next couple of months now that I've got my new power supply. I knew the PSU was going to go any day because it's well over 4 years old and has been through multiple systems, but of course bad timing as this happens while my car is in the shop. :lol:

 

[tiny voices]

That always seems to happen. The only flat tire I have ever had in my life came about when I was driving my family Minivan while my car was in getting work done.

 

[Mirakledba]

Onus - What are you thinking of making the price?

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Same question as mirkledba

 

[Onus]

Well, it's not a big discount from the R9 280X, but I was hoping for close to $200; it's the Gigabyte WF3 model, and has not been abused. I only took it up to 1130MHz for a while, and kept it under 70C-72C.

 

[stickg1]

I sold my Visiontek 280x with XSPC full cover block installed for $190. That's kinda of low, but I wanted it sold fast. I see a lot of 280x's and 7970s with stock cooler for sale and it ranges from $160-$200. The closer you are to the low end, the fast you can expect to make the sale.

 

[Onus]

The WF3 cooler is an EXCELLENT cooler though; to call it "stock" is an understatement. I'm seeing refurbs in the $204-$209 range. $200 shipped seems fair for this one; perhaps $195.
I'd also sell my HD7870; that one looks like it ought to go for around $125.

 

[stickg1]

Hmm, a 7870 can CF-X with a R9 270x right?

 

[Onus]

I believe so, but am not certain. Their stats look the same though.

 

[tiny voices]

I'm pretty sure you can.
