free.gifEver wanted to have the latest video card in your kickass system, but the money you’ve got is for hookers and booze? Well ive got your solution my friend. But before you go out and give that cheap hooker your money, hold on to it for a while, you will need it. Dont worry, you will get it back. Upgrading your PC can be an expensive adventure, or a free one. Heres the scenario.

You need a new video card because the old is ready to melt. But you just don’t want any graphics chip, you want THE graphics chip. Good, now the only thing this will cost you is gas for your car, or if you walk, its totally free. Head over to your local Circuit City, Best Buy or Walmart. Purchase the video card (or any other PC component that you want) and take it home. When you get home, take out the old video card and clean it until it cant be cleaned no more. Now, remove all the stickers, labels, and any insignia that you can from both your old, and new video card. (I think you know where im headed with this)

Place your new video card’s stickers on your old one, and pack it up in the new box. The next day, take it back and simply say it wasn’t compatible. (This is where i prefer Circuit City because they have a no questions asked return policy) Never say its broken. Doing this will cause them to take out the video card out of the box, and thats a bad thing! Thats it, enjoy your new video card!

Here are some pointers that are worth mentioning:

  1. Try and pay with cash when you “purchase” the video card.
  2. Don’t return the “merchandise” back until the next day.
  3. When you go to return it, walk up the chick at the counter, or even better, the oldest guy. NEVER approach the guy with the zits and over sized glasses. He will catch your thieving ass.
