Got another delivery exception a half hour later saying "Future delivery requested" thankfully.
Don't wanna call in again and tell em to hold it at the warehouse since their system seems rather finicky compared to USPS/UPS. Should be home tonight anyway (yay no classes Thursday/Friday), so I should get it in theory. My confidence in FedEx is not very high from some of the experiences some of my friends had with em. |
Don't worry. I'm positively sure you'll get it soon enough. I personally had very good experience with FedEx in the past...

Yeah - I generally use FedEx since they have been the most reliable, and they are usually cheaper/quicker than Priority Mail. But, I guess it's better that you asked for signature confirmation to be included and you have to wait, then for it to have been left out in the rain or for someone to walk off with...

I don't mind waiting, been bogged down with school recently. Cleared some free time this weekend though 
From the few times i've used Fedex, basic shipping and package delivery are good, but never had to deal with rescheduling delivery with them. I like UPS' system for that much better, changes show up much quicker and with more information. |

| My friend summed up the game the best: Fallout 3: Oblivion. Despite the sometimes awkward dialogue, highly enjoyed playing both games. |

Got the card today. Sit tight, it's crappy camera picture time!
First thing I noticed is the cards size. This is definitely the largest video card out there. Even my old Voodoo 5 is smaller. Grabbed my two previous cards that were nearby and put em together (8800GT in middle and 6800 Ultra on bottom).
I better hunt for a bigger mid tower case, I doubt the smaller ones will fit it adequately with the recent drive cage trend that reaches all the way to the bottom of the case. Luckily, my tower is an old one and the drive cages come short of the card. Instead, I had to ninja my way through a cable forest. My PSU is not modular and I got fans with short connectors everywhere so it wasn't pretty. Disconnected my backup hard drive and did a lot of repositioning.
I literally have molex connectors underneath the card that should be supporting some of the weight, but it still looks like its leaning from the length and weight. Here she is with the side on. The side won't be on much because this thing gets HOT.
I also got a spiffy looking Sapphire jacket. Figured my computer would be cold from being all opened up so I put it on for warmth
And by request, here's a blurry bathroom mirror camera shot of me rocking it out in the jacket.
Now i'm off to test it. Tried to load up some Crysis Warhead benches but they all froze during loading  Will also be posting up some pics once I get a new case. Hopefully I can hide the wires a lot better than what I got now. Thanks again BB! |
