Dude I bought a GTX980 like six months ago for like $350. A replacement card for my six-year-old Mac Pro was $450. Frickin' PC stuff is always cheap. Y'all don't know how good you have it.

Especially when your year-old Mac Mini has a corrupt hard drive, and Apple has not only slapped a proprietary connector on it, they've slapped proprietary firmware, so you can't even swap the bitch out without bringing it to the genius bar. Apple and I are rapidly parting company.

Thinking of building an XPenology box to replace it. Could probably just grab some piece of shit off Woot and install, but I kinda want a decent video card on it so it'll transcode Plex with alacrity (the Mac Mini doesn't transcode worth a shit either).
