Thursday, was an incredibly bad day.
I lost 1700 dollars.
Gone, goodbye.
Now it's up to the police to get them back.
This is what happens in the real world. For me it's just another example of why I dislike many people.
Now its a case of, Id rather see them destroyed, than for someone else to have them. They were mine, mine alone. It disgusts me to think someone was actually touching my possessions.
Minor problems in life are a laughingstock compared to this.

Anyway because I was so upset. I decided to buy a new video card to cheer myself up.
So I went to ITWH, and Andrew served me goddammit. Gabor was on the phone.
I asked what video cards he has instock, hes like what do you need it for really.
Im thinking Pfft just tell me the expensive ones idiot. They had 9800XT (he fully creamed himself talking about it "BEST VIDEO CARD IN THE WORLD OMG!" and the 5950 for around 650 each.
So I asked about the 9600XT and apparently they had none. Next best thing was a 5700 256mb. So I bought that for 292 and some cds ($2 dc on cds!)
It runs really well. First Aquamark was 23,000. Then I O/C it to 475Mhz/585Mhz and I got 26,676. But it was running 10 degrees higher. Plus its 35 degress in my room.
But its really nice, the 128mb version owns the Sapphire 9600. 60-70 FPS difference in CoD.
So yeah I went back to GeForce, but its proven itself extremely good so whatever.
