You want to fold with that... thing?
Edit: no, makes no difference.

Thanks for the tip! At $85 + free shipping, I've pulled the trigger. My only concern is whether or not it'll fit in the case. But that's what saws and dremels are for, right? Hopefully it'll be up & going mid-to-late next week.
Let us know how it works out. photocopy wrote:Thanks for the tip! At $85 + free shipping, I've pulled the trigger. My only concern is whether or not it'll fit in the case. But that's what saws and dremels are for, right? Hopefully it'll be up & going mid-to-late next week.

The good news: I've got the 8800GS and it looks like it'll fit in my case.
The bad news: My PSU doesn't have a 6pin PCIE connector. Time to get a new PSU, I guess.
