$1000 video card with water cooler!

RZetlin · September 15th, 2003

Presenting the Gainward NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 with water cooler!

This can be yours for 1000 dollars!

**hushypushy** · September 15th, 2003

that is simply amazing. how much can you overclock something like that?

Alias · September 15th, 2003

i've seen this before. Talk about ugly, MaximumPC's dream machine 2003 (with a voodoo cooler) had a nicer looking heating block. Plus, the water cooling unit cools the cpu too, and it costs 300 dollars. You add in a 500 dollar GF FX 5900, and it's still priced less than this monstrosity.

I saw that before, but it was only $700.

yeah but wasnt that cooling thing not available for sale? IIRC it only came when you bought that computer's full system, not by itself

hmm only and idiot or a loseror someone who has no life would buy that thing..

i feel sorry for anyone who buys that card

the current geforceFX 5900 should keep you set atleast 3 or 4 more years..

and what the price on that sucker??

is it 300 or 350??

anyway if i had 1000 bucks to blow i would buy.

a FX 5900 and a 32 inch tv!!!

if a person has the money, why not buy it

**Demigod** · September 15th, 2003

Because it's a bad investment. It's be equal to flushing hundreds of dollars down the toilet. Even if you had money to spare spending it on such junk would be damn foolish. In 6 months there'll be something faster and better, and hundreds of dollars cheaper. You'd get a lot more out of that money from upgrading other computer parts.

op3n_skill · September 15th, 2003

For 1000 dollars i could already buy a Radeon 9800 pro, and a Swiftech GPU WB or a CNCed WB...... and it'll still be priced much, much less.......

Chinoz · September 15th, 2003

$1000...i'd get a 9500pro, sony nx80 pda, ps2 and lotsa lotsa spare cash!!

Bleh that has got to be the biggest con job after the nv30

Aleksei (St) · September 16th, 2003

1000 dlls thats a lot of cash for a video card!!!

Regulus · September 16th, 2003

holy mamma. that is some VC! Thats gotta work fast....

GKort · September 16th, 2003

i think that one looks really damn kool...but i couldnt stand paying a grand for ONE PEICE OF HARDWARE...watch you wait another few months (3ish) and itll be cheaper like 800...

Zapages · September 16th, 2003

My cousin is going to get this card....

**hushypushy** · September 16th, 2003

seriously dude? he's gonna waste 1000 on that???

N1ghtw0lf · September 16th, 2003

with 1000 dollars i could build another of my computer and a half

...kinda crazy how that vc costs more than my computer...

Zapages · September 16th, 2003

he has the $$$, because he's surgeron and gamer....

**hushypushy** · September 16th, 2003

well, i mean for those dollars...he can surely get something comparable for the same price. like a FX5900 and a full system cooling....

hell if he has the money and wants to go extreme get a liquid nitrogen cooling, that is INSANE

Zapages · September 16th, 2003

He wants to get everything top-notch*shrugs* I think its waste of money...

RF · September 16th, 2003
