Not exactly a question, but fuck they have an ugly site. I know that every time someone mentions this they are responded to with "IT'S BECAUSE THE EXTRA MONEY GOES ITO SAVINGS FOR YOU, THE CUSTOMER (NOOB!)", but honestly, how hard is it to make a website that doesn't make anyone with a colour monitor want to cry?

It doesn't cost much at all, but I do believe that website is viewed alot and due to that they probably want to minimise the ammount of bandwidth being used.

I can imagine they could come up with something more appealing tho if they bothered.

I can understand wanting to cut down on bandwidth, and it being plain isn't a bother at all, the bit that really shits me is just the (apparently) random highlight colours, especially in the pricing lists :)

shipping depends
my postage was $9.50, $14 express

dude, I wouldn't spend $170 on a 9600XT
even for an extra $50-60 you can get a Geforce 6600GT

i am not saying your wrong, just saying ebays low prices are pushed up due to shipping, and usually are the same as cheap shops or even higher
