That is just... sad.

That's like cutting off the back side of your CRT Monitor so it fits well on your desk.

I thought you just removed the turbine if it didnt fit... then used it as a spare easy bake oven?....

Lol, that's a good way to die early.

If you don't know the real name for those "slot things," you might want to have a real nerd wrangle your hardware.

Was that on their forums? I can't find it doing a search, so could you post the link?

Yeah, no shit.
The whole thing is just a joke.

Like the guy who wanted a water cooled PC so made the case watertight and filled it up with a hose then posted on teh intarweb that his PC was now ruined.

There's no way a guy with a bottom-of-the-line Dell is going to drop $500-600 on a top of the line video card.

Not to mention the 7800 only comes in a PCI-E version? And the 2350 has an AGP slot only...hehe

Think that was the whole reason for cutting off the tabs... so it WOULD fit in that pci(e) slot.

Hehe, one of my friend actually had a customer do something similiar way back in the 386 days, the guy bought some RAM modules (hideously expensive back then) and cut off some of them to try and fit them down in a PCI slot.
And no, he didnt get his money back.
