| The 8800GT is not a bad card, but it's a couple years old and is quite outdated by now. Who would buy a computer and put 10+ 500gb drives in it? What an odd thing to do; simply to collect movies in HD. A word of advice: part out the drives individually, and maybe you can recoup some of your losses. I hate to mock the OP, but geez... get a hobby. |

Think about it though... 10+ doorstops... Imagine the doors that could be held open!  |

Maybe you'll find it on Canada's greatest ex-game show!

Sometimes I like to take Canadian credit for things that arn't actually Canadian on the basis that I saw them when I was a kid... 
(Not really, lol... But I did think this show was Canadian for some reason... Probably b/c it was on on of our public broadcasting channels or something at the time LOL) |

I KNEW we had a version of this damn game, LOL
From the same wiki:

Canada
A syndicated Canadian version, later aired on the Global Television Network, was produced from 1992-1995 and is currently airing on GameTV in Canada. Tino Mont� was, according to the opening, the "host and games master extraordinaire" and Dave King was announcer. The supermarket in this version was much smaller than in America and did not contain the specialty racks such as videos, cards, or flowers. The only exceptions were the Voortman cookie hut, a (rarely used) produce section and a display of Nabob coffee located right behind host Mont�. The question rounds each began with a Mini-Sweep which, if won, added $50 to a team's total. On at least two occasions (when the item being searched for was a health food) a gift certificate worth $75 from Naturally Yours Health foods was also awarded for a win.
Each team started with a base time of 1:00 and for the Big Sweep, only the Shopping List bonus was used in every episode. The Manager's Special (using a wooden crate rather than a red-and-white barrel) was also sometimes used. While the five-per-item rule appeared to be in play (contestants would frequently take five of most items), the announcer rarely mentioned either the rules of the Sweep, or the value of the products. Similar to the "bonus specials" used on the American version, occasionally the market had three inflatable cheeses (referred to as "inflatables" on-air) with a bonus hidden behind a label of either $50, $75, or $100. Although rarely mentioned, teams were allowed only one each of these.
Originally, the bonus round had the winners looking for $5,000, as with the American show, but later on the winning team chose a scroll representing one of the letters in the show's title, containing a cash amount of $500, $1,000, or $5,000, or a prize such as a Doncaster recliner, two Bulova watches, Mini Maid service for a year, a VCR, a 32" television, or a trip to Acapulco, Mexico, or Cuba (which has never been a prize on an American game show due to the boycott), and whatever was on the scroll was the prize to be played for. If a team lost the bonus round, they won a consolation prize of a coffee percolator and a year's supply of Nabob coffee.
At this time, it is unknown what the Canadian version's set (at CHCH in Hamilton, Ontario) was modeled after.
