I would do the same. Bought a 6870 about a month ago for R1k, and that is a billion times faster than what you would get new for R1k.

Otherwise 6670(the 1gb version) it is

I have one currently. Feels pretty solid, lovely keyboard and well designed in most areas. So I would give it thumbs up

Lenovo did buy out the laptop and desktop division of IBM so time ago, I think some of IBM's build quality has stuck.

Happy Birthday tribs!!! Hope it was awesome

Yep, similar story with the ones that were fitted to my dads old ML270. They definitely seem to last longer than most others

I think michelin, bridgestone or yokohama will do then

Looks that way. No disastrous queues so far, and there are fewer students as many have left/failed/decided to do something else...

So I assume that both monitors were tested with separate cables.

Another thing you can try quickly is to disconnect every unnecessary bit of hardware completely (Optical drives, hard drives, fans...) so that just the motherboard, cpu and ram remain

Stupid question this but when you plug the monitor into the on board gfx did you remember to remove the discrete card first?

Otherwise yes try another cable. If still nothing, rebuild it outside of the case and see what happens

Don't know or do know but want you to buy another?

Why cant things be built to last

The bunch who build them don't seem to know how much heat they produce so therefore do nothing about it. No heatsinks, fans and such so after a while the heat kills them
