Seriously...I dunno if its funnier that it reminds me of Cheapy...or if it reminds me of a disgusted Cheapy.

That picture says to me "Shit..this thing just will not overclock" or perhaps "Oh My God this thing is so slow, it wont even benchmark!"

:D

Sorry, nerd humor. Move along, move along.

I thought it said, "Do you mind? I'm trying to take a shit here."

Why would you buy a video card for the art when it sits inside your computer where you can't see it/don't look at it?

Potentially a lucite case, or a case with a window.

But yeah. Artwork on the card itself is pretty much the last thing I'd worry about, unless it was adorned with Nazi symbols or something.

Clear cases were covered with the "don't look at it." I mean, sure, they look nice, but who looks at them for more than two seconds before returning their eyes to the screen?


Swastikas would definitely make a purchase worth it, just for the incredible double takes you'd get when people looked in your case.

Go to a LAN party. People like to show their shit off.

Quakecon is a good example. I'm pretty sure they have case design contests.

Agreed...who cares what cover plate is on the video card. I have a half naked Mermaid plate on my 6800gt... big whoop.

The art isn't that bad, so I don't care.

This.

I don't even know why they put art on it, a waste of resources if you ask me.

Besides serious modders usually take off those plates, stock heatsinks/fans and put better one's in place...of course those are the people who over clock their shit to the extreme.

We - as a nation - print the nutrition facts of water on the bottle.

Think about that.

Wow I guess I never thought about it before. Thanks for making me just a little more depressed at society Strell.

Blatant ripoff of the cover of Second Sight, sans gun.

Holy Christmas....Cheapy is everywhere.....now I understand how he can sit on his ass all day long in Tokyo and actually make enough to buy expensive action figures and Japanese Domino's.
