    Not 100% sure if it's real, but look what this prat did.....

    SUBJECT- 7800 WON'T WORK: i bought one of these and tried putting in my dell dimension 2350. my friend said that the shiny metal part on the bottom looks like it has lines because you cut at the lines if it doesnt fit. so i carefully cut off the bottom so that it fit into 1 of the slot things in my computer. now it doesnt work. did i cut it wrong? id post pics, but no camera. is there anyway i can fix this? thanks for any help.

    LOL! Who the hell would do that?? I have to say though that this person has done a nice clean cut on the all important connector pcb bits.

    I think it's fixable though... if yer good enough, but if you did that you ain't good enough.

    Ive had a look at the picture and in my opinion this fool really has cut the bottom off, if he was going to fake a pic he would have used a plain canvas not a patterned one.

    OMG what a joke, his friend must have really hated him.... maybe it was his joke on him for buying a dell.

    Supremely stupid but that picture is photoshopped... it looks like a totally different lighting condition on the card compared to the colour that the table and environment should be projecting. And the wood effect looks fake... me thinks its a hoax :/

    True or not it made me smile, I'm working out how I'd fix it, I think it should be able to fix but once fitted then leave alone,
