I'm looking for a Radeon HD7970 WITH a quality WATERBLOCK.

 - reasonably priced
 - preferably used. If I'm buying new, I can find my own sources.
 - any sellers with low rep will need to ship before payment is sent.
 - escrow is ok

Wasn't my intention (it didn't register that there was HDR effect), the point is to show the wide field of view. I also helpfully provided a link to a review of the lens, complete with 'brick wall' shots. Check it out.

Upon further inspection I would say only the first image has HDR correction.

HDR function is starting to appear in camera firmwares, so its really a moot point to call me out on posting an HDR image. And how can you really fault me a simple oversight when Nikon's advertising claims that 'the camera matters'?

Do i hear 80 90?  

I'd settle for 65.

I think rawdawg is the source of the rage face internet meme.  

Have I ever seen anyone so angry (2-year-olds don't count) ?

Wow, I missed RawDawg. This is great stuff. 

He actually turned a shade of purple at one point.

MrCruncher was nice enough to let me login to the account to confirm and check a few things.

In the end I decided I wanted the premium version, so didn't buy this.

But its a good deal for anyone that doesn't care about map packs, or if you need a 2nd account.

Thanks for offer. I'll wait for a better one. 

Wide angle lenses are difficult to design and build, compared to regular and telephoto lenses. They contain a lot more high quality glass and need a big and beefy frame.

Especially this lens, which reaches 12mm on DX (cropped sensor, smaller than full-frame). With traditional full frame 35mm sensor, 12mm gives a much wider field of view, this is why we need wider angle lenses on DX cameras.

This picture gives you an idea of the field of view of a 12mm lens on DX sensor:

I was going to say no, but then i did a little checking and it overclocks real well (at least good samples do). Is this an E0 stepping? Those are the best.

10 shipped to Canada, I can do that.


*EDIT*

 - Purchased e8500 from xurious

My OP clearly says 'reasonably priced'. I'm just looking for a 775 upgrade.

If it runs stable & overclocks, I'll take it. My offer is 20 BTC shipped to Canada.

Thanks, but I saw his thread ... those are not socket 775 CPU's.

I need one of the following: Q8200-Q9650 series, or a QX series.

OR

Xeon X3320, Xeon X3330.

Will pay btc for reasonably priced, and working stable condition.

Review here: http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/reviews/tokina_12-24_f4_review.html

Condition:
Very lightly used - there are no obvious blemishes on the lens body, (none on the glass) and was not used professionally.
Comes with caps and hood. I would rate this as near perfect condition with one caveat: it has a tight spot on the focal length ring. When rotated, the focal range sticks slightly in the middle.

Warranty
Don't know about manufacturer's warranty. I do offer DOA warranty with full refund (minus return shipping). I have no reason to believe it is not fully functional. I have a friend with a Canon DSLR, if anyone asks, I will test it out. Beyond that you are on your own.

Someone got an ultimatum: ME or the bitmonies. PICK ONE.  

Not well. Prepare for hardware overheating problems. Lower clocks, etc. Add more cooling and/or airflow. I learned this last summer & only had 4GH.
