The thing that we so often spend most of our time on while we are at home

Now, here's my RM1300 big, fat, heavy ASUS 8800GTS GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) or graphics card. It has been sent for warranty for the past month and now its finally back :)

I gotta say I'm really lucky because I paid extra and extended the warranty period to 3 years instead of 2 or not I will have to pay a large sum to repair or even get a new one.

Well, it is very common for a GPU to break down after 2-3 years of usage and rightfully mine did as expected. I don't really know what went wrong even after the technician explained to me so I'll just put it down as "overheating". lol

Here's one thing, my brother has one too and it spoiled as well. But instead of getting a same replacement, he got a smaller, slimmer and better 9800GTS (one generation ahead of mine) as replacement from the ATOM shop he bought it from. (Mine from C-Zone) Damn, I wished I had bought from those ATOM guys as well. Anyway, I'll finally leave you with what's on my PC now...
