ROFL!

So until now, you *definitely* need a new power plant, and as it seems a new
mainboard (or an older hard drive) for this Big Bad Brick of Pure Pixel Power,
huh?

What's next? Drivers requiring a new OS, output connector incompatible with your
old display, and card too heavy to be supported by the case? ;)

Gee, maybe you should've bought a new computer right away, after all :P


This reminds me, I actually once resorted to (mini-) angle grinder work to
upgrade the graphics of some computer... the corner of a PCI expansion slot had
to make way =B)
