I ordered a Galaxy 9600GT OC from Dell last month because it was on sale for $55 shipped and had a $20 mail in rebate (yeah, a 9600GT for $35). It was backordered and I didn't get it until a few days ago.
About two minutes ago I tore open the package and the smell of brand new electronics hit me and put a big grin on my face. I've barely done any upgrades over the past two years, so I'm definitely having withdrawals. When I realized that smelling a freshly printed PCB made me want to get online and buy stuff, I was reminded of how much of a geek I am. :lol:
Just thought I'd share.

Word. I am getting into my own PC company and love it. Moving a lot of hardware... lot's of smelling.
Customer: "Dude... did you just sniff my video card?"
Me: "GET THE **** OUT. NO VIDEO CARD FOR YOU"

I'll give you $55 for it since you already have a GTX 260 and don't need it. I on the other hand am still with a series 7 card. :( I'll even throw in a razer copperhead mouse. :o
I get the urge to buy new hardware every time I see a UPS or Fed-Ex truck. I love the sound of those trucks on delivery day :D
