Exclamation Hawaiian Havoc!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Update on the Noob Party at my house. Rogue doesnt have access to the web while she's here (in the kitchen applying eraser and insulation to the GTX285. So I can sneak on the comp and tell you guys.

ohcrapShe accidentally broke a piece off the pcb and its dangling from the pcb. I resoldered it to the mobo (my first attempt at any such repair). Well, anyhow, she feels like total crap and is worried the card won't work once we mount it and fire it up. So she's driving all the way f'n home to pick up her GTX285 from her rig, hahaha, I told her it was no big deal.

To make matters worst, yesterday while dressing up the gpu for insulation a different piece broke off the pcb ohcrap but we figure it'll still run. Hey, we're still having fun learning tho

Lemme upload some pics while she's gone:

Heres yesterday's mishap (I found the broken piece on the worktable today )


Heres the havoc from today:
