Exclamation Unique 7800GTX 'mod':!!

Read about this guys one-off 'mod' here

Quote:

i bought one of these and tried putting in my dell dimension 2350. my friend said that the shiny metal part on the bottom looks like it has lines because you cut at the lines if it doesnt fit. so i carefully cut off the bottom so that it fit into 1 of the slot things in my computer. now it doesnt work. did i cut it wrong?

reminds me of the classic: "I heard water cooling was really good so I selaed all the holes on my case and emptied in the contents of the fishtank. Now it won't work, did I get it wrong?"

People are funny

lol what a twit. If it doesnt work and your not a computer person you take it to a shop or someone that is. You never cut things on the advise of poepel.

I wonder if his friend wasnted payback or something.

wow, nice way to throw £400 down the drain... he must of been mad!

Always take the advice that some people give on forums with a pinch of salt and use your own judgement before doing something big like that.
