I am still rocking a BFG 8800GT in my wifes computer. Still does some light gaming as well.

I thought everyone who bought a BFG broke them so they could get a free upgrade?

Probably why they went bust. Life time warranty as well.

Looks like something we used to put into VCRs to watch a movie or record a TV programme.

BFG were great.

Lest we forget.

Still gets worn to this day!

Bought from OcUK in 06 -7900GTX (which got sold for 2 x 7950GT)

Ouch! I cringe to look at the order details, £150 for 2GB of ram and that was cheap stuff.

I gave my brother my old bfg 260, and still ruins like the day I got it! And still runs everything to an acceptable standard too.
