Default Ya know how Visiontek could make a grip of money...

(Visiontek boards are made in the USA) I mentioned this in Pro/Chat, but they could start making the boxes have american flags on them. Then they could use red PCBs, and blorbs w/ white fans. I mean everyone is so patriotic now. Hell I even bought an American car flag.

Ever seen those american car flags? They used to be ten dollars on every street corner around here. Now they're twenty... and they sell more than ever. That's not exactly suicidal.

I disagree. Most corporations are after the mighty buck. Additionally, I wouldn't consider this "making money of the lives lost" because it isn't like they would jack up the price specifically for the "Patriotic Version".
