well, after a long time and lots of troubles, I got it!
Patchou was unable to send the prize from a local site, and then the French sites would not ship to Israel =/
However, Patchou sent me some money, and I got it myself :DD
with the help of Westen Union,
and I got lots and lots of the local currency :D
(no commission, since this is the Post Bank, it's related to the government)
Because the dollar increased in value, I even got a couple more dollars!
here is the box,
with the somewhat related new graphic card and a new disc reader burner (had a problem with the old one)
installing the new vid card (wth? passive cooling? o_o odd)
(that's my father's hand)
and I really needed this one, I can finally see the road that I drive on at Battlefield 2142! earlier everything was just a dirty path of sand.
The screen is really huge :DD
taking all my field of view!
I had to lower its brightness because I couldn't see anything else, hardly noticing my hands as they were typing.
Really cool screen, I can rotate it however I want, it's almost a TV =D.
Only problem is, lines get
very long :P
I need to move my head from one side all the way to the other!
I'm connecting it through the DVI cable, I don't feel much difference, but I suppose I need something really qualitious for it. I did started noticing the small imperfection in media that I once thought was flawless, well not when it's stretched all this wide :D
I have a problem with the driver to the vid card, but it seems to be a known bug (I can't quite change the resolution, I only have a few and limited options), but I think I can handle it. Meanwhile I'm working on 1680x1050 =D
THANKS PATCHOU!
