Oh, so the extra E25 was the cost of them digging your hold luggage out of the hold and sticking the bottle in it? The UK/Europe are fucking shit, I swear to God. Move to the Far East, where I recently discovered you can take as much hand luggage as you can carry, and they don't give a shit what you've got in it. Vodka, hat boxes, suit bags, live chickens; motherfucking Borat up in there.

it doesn't look that bad, you could unmount the fan cover and un-bash it.

besides such a card should deserve a proper shiny cooling system ;)

no, I had no hold luggage at all.

The 25 euros was so that they would put the HAND luggage into the cargo. It is a fine. The normal price is like 10E (which is still a rip off). In other words they charge you for cargo luggage anyway. But if you tell them before hand (like, when you buy the tickets) then they only charge 10E.

It is stupid. For a measly 10 E they make themselves look like clowns. Shitfaced clowns.

zest: I'm trying to figure out how the hell to get the fan cover out. Maybe the whole thing needs to get off (with all the screws off). But I know that once I do that, with my luck, one million springs will put up and run down underneath my floorboard. And then the card will be fucked for eternity.

Btw the card passed the "fairlight demos running at more than 30fps" test, so it she is in good shape spiritually at least.

25e oO

When I came back from Japan with three bottles of alcohol I bought from duty free shops, I couldn't keep then as hand luggages because I had to take another flight at Frankfurt. They put them into the cargo for free. I still don't know if it was free because it was the Lufthansa or if it was because they were Japanese (my opinion is that it's the latter).

About the card my guess is that if you fuck up the fan, you can put another cooling system in replacement. But then it won't be a free card anymore. Maybe all of this is a message from the ancient gods about you going to the Breakpoint :D
the fan is working fine. Basically the whole card is fine apart from that dent, which is aesthetical.

but people like aesthetics too.

in which case you have to hammer some dents into the rest of your pc too.

Navis: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wabi-sabi

"Wabi now connotes rustic simplicity, freshness or quietness, and can be applied to both natural and human-made objects, or understated elegance. It can also refer to quirks and anomalies arising from the process of construction, which add uniqueness and elegance to the object. Sabi is beauty or serenity that comes with age, when the life of the object and its impermanence are evidenced in its patina and wear, or in any visible repairs.

That's so true, on inland flights in China you can even bring bottles of water with you in your hand luggage, it's totally amazing!

i can kindof picture someone forcefully pouring shampoo in the pilot's eyes.
added on the 2008-04-17 20:18:46 by Gargaj Gargaj
no worries, you *can* bring up to 100ml of shampoo with you, which should be more than enough :)
