Alright since im a cheap son of a bitch I'm lookin at refurbished parts. For those that don't know what it means. It means returns to the company, they check it, fix it(some don't even need fixed) and ship it back out for about 30% less then retail.

HERE (http://www.newegg.com/OldVersion/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-161-119R&type=Refurbished)

That right there is a hell of a nice Radeon X800 Pro AGP that has a big ass cooler that is quiet and powerful enough for me to jack that son of a bitch up to X800 XT speeds and beyond. Its damn cheap at $270 (For a AGP version X800) when the cheapest it is retail is $348 new. I could save about $80 on this thing but I want some advice and past experiences buying refurb'ed parts.
