Default Lets get vern a good graphics card.

Alright guys, lets help our buddy vern out.

He just got cod4, and needs a good card to play it on. I found an x1900xt for $50 shipped, so im asking our members to help him out
one last time and make some donations.

I will be putting up $20 myself, so we need about $35 more but if you guys wants to
reduce my out of pocket costs, then itll be great too.

Pm me if you wish to donate, paypal only guys.


edit:
nevermind, he has a 7950gt coming in the mail.

They don't cost heaps of money.

COD4 is one of the games where it excels at, too...

Once I pay for my card and a new northbridge fan, I'll contribute whatever I have left in PayPal. It won't be much, but I'll toss it in anyway.
