Good offer on FX5600 Ultra?

Is this just a scam for us to get all those pop-up ads on your home page?

I've just seen a local (Irish) company offer the
following for EUR 160 (approximately US$177):

Gainward PowerPack Ultra/780TV/DVI
GeForce FX5600 graphics cards, 256 MB memory, TV-out and DVI

This seems too good to be true - is it?

Why aren't you using a pop up blocker? Even google is giving one away for
'free'.

I do run it, but held down CTRL because the site wouldn't run.

See what I mean about a scam?

Was only joking really, but a home page that has no content and just gives
you three pop ups?

Sheesh.

Twas meant in a light hearted way, since someone's mouse seems to have been
taken over to such an extent as to create a site with nothing but pop-up
ads. ;-)

How much does Ireland suck for getting computer parts?, and we pay through
the nose for parts also. Way above other countries.

Lemme know if that deal is legit also, i might be interested in seeing what
else that company has.

Wow, it's an amazing scam. I didn't realise
my posting took control of your cursor, made you
copy and paste the URL that's in _all_ my postings
into your browser, and make you view the page. It's
truly amazing, the kinds of trojan horses you can
insert into plaintext messages these days. I
am truly in awe of your ability to sniff
out us international mass-marketeers. I
will stick to sending out Nigerian scam mails
in future.

Now that's I've dealt with Mr. Paranoia,
if there's anyone out there who can add
anything concrete (whether that Gainward card
is a piece of ****, for instance, or not
actually an Ultra), please let me know.

Thanks; I'd almost consider it false
advertising on Gainward's part to
be using the term "Ultra" in such a way.

I get the feeling that Gainward was using the "Ultra" as a series
designation a long time ago.May fall under a "Grandfather" clause sort of
thing. Do wish they would change it now though.
