Beer, what are your other options? Like the next jump up price wise? That 430 will crunch, but it's really positioned for the HTPC enthusiast crowd. Only about 2/3 the power of a GT 240.

If you could hold out a while longer for something better...I'm just curious what your next jump up is over there. I understand prices can be a little crazy in Europe on things like this.

Hmm not sure actually...

I am searching some danish forums for 2 hand cards. The older models must come down, now that the 570 and 580 has landed..?

I think I saw a GTX275 go for like 125$ yesterday...I were hoping to make it before this challenge....But now that itīs obvious that I donīt - I migth as well save some more..

My current "hidden" saving is around 70$ and I have a board I can get a few bucks for also...As things are rigth now...I can "hide" around 10-15$ every 14 day from my share of expenses around here. So it will take me around 3 months to cross 200$ barrier

I could on the other hand....Come clean to "she who must be obeyed" and just ask for permission...But itīs kinda "fun" to be sneaky.....:p

Sad but so true.....


Well, I am certainly looking to do some trading...Maybe in the new year with a little luck...This pc hold only a very old 250GB HD and running Vista...Very hogging when even playing youtube HD trailers..Need to replace that HD soon.
