I still have my 6800 Ultra... I actually kind of have a nostalgia appreciation for the old GPU art... they always had these weird 3D characters on them, alien/mermaid/creepy eyes, etc... on the fan shrouds. EVGA should do one for some anniversary card one day.

XeonWorx X5675 @ 50% overclock / 980 Ti G1

LogixWorx (LogiX) Dual X5690 Mac Pro 12-core

Yeah, I managed to find a GeForce 6600 for only £5, it was still sealed!

Yeah, if Zen's cheap enough I may upgrade in the future, but for now my i5 4670 and GT 430 will do xD

Just pointing out that your igpu is better then your gpu.

You can't forget how stylish those old cases were, lol.

I still have my original case too. Those things were heavy too... it's every bit of 20 lbs! Lol.
