FS: 9700 Pro with shim removed, MCW50 waterblock, and BGA Ramsinks

First off, pictures:

Great card. I never really got into overclocking it because I was too busy with my cooling setup at the time (bong cooled, with processor and northbridge too), so I can't tell you how it'll perform, but with the cooling its got pre-installed, I doubt you'd have problems getting this sky-high.

But here's the only catch: the waterblock is epoxied on. My typical usage of a videocard is I run it into the ground ... meaning I don't give it up until its entirely obsolete and at that point I either give it to a friend or throw it away its so old. I was displeased with the amount of mounting pressure that was required to get the waterblock mounted, and after it was installed, it flexed the hell out of my videocard, to the point that it worried me. Epoxied on, there should be no worries about card damage or an improper mating surface.

Anyways, its up for bidding, since I'm disassembling my PC and selling it piece by piece. I'm switching to a 17" powerbook and giving up my gaming ways. This videocard functions flawlessly, and it better, considering all the effort I put into it.

The block comes with fittings for 1/2" ID tubing, but will work with 1/2" OD or 3/4" ID tubing as well. I've tried it with 1/2" ID and 3/4" ID and both were fine. 3/4" was snug, but that's to be expected.

Going price is $200

Buyer pays shipping, and it will probably not exceed $15 tops. I'll charge you exactly what it costs to ship, but you'll only find that out if you're the buyer. If it tops $15, the extra is on me.

please post questions here.
