    That's the cheapest 8800GT card I can find.

    It has an MUCH better cooler than stock and it's overclocked. It's dual slot, I like that.

    It doesn't exhaust out the case though, so it's not really much different.

    I'm sure at least some air exhausts out the back. Seems like a good deal. Although the person who wanted to buy my PC backed out, so I'm kinda stuck here :(

    Look at the way it's structured. If they intended air to come out the back I think they would have extended the structure to cover the extra half inch gap, don't you?
    Unlucky about the PC sell...
    If it's any consolation, my potential HD3870 buyer backed out as well.

    Got it.
    The offer looks good, but you need to pro up the grammar a lot. I'll make a few amendments and send it back to you.

    Thanks, it looks much more professional now. I'm gonna have to dumb it down a bit though, it IS America after all. People wont understand "figure", so I'm just going to put down price lol.

    No I'm not, people here aren't exactly very good at the English language. Give them simple enough words and they will understand, it's just good marketing.

    Up to a point that's true. I think perhaps your initial idea crossed that point...

    Abuzar, That is a typical stereotype of Americans that you hear from every country that hates us. You think Americans go through school and not learn proper grammar? Come on. You live in America you should know this stuff :/ It's like saying,"You're an Arab so don't bomb us." I'm pretty sure even the dropouts in America can understand the word 'figure' versa 'price'. Because I sure think that is the most important thing in their minds. :p

    Dude I live here, and in my town people aren't the brightest. I'm not stereotyping. Anyway Simple words= Better marketing.

    Like Pizza hut.

    Gather round the good stuff

    now

    The good stuff.

    Short simple things get ideas across better. You must leave them wanting for SOME details, so they call and you can pull a salesman on them.


    Yeah VERY off topic.

    EDIT: Also to clear up some misconceptions, I'm not an Arab ;)
