What to do? 8800gtx wont arrive for a week

[MinorThreat]

Hello, I just recieved all the parts for my new system but the 8800GTX I ordered will not be here for over a week. I put everything together last night and would really like to test this out.

Soooo...... my plan is to buy a video card somewhere and return it when the 8800 GTX arrives. (my MB is a EVGA A-1)

I need some help here, where Can i expect a no hassle return? The only stores I really have to pick from are best buy, office depot and well thats it that i can think of that would have video cards, i think i've seen them at fred myer before not sure, maybe shopko and places like that.

Take up yoga & Zen for added patience!

It's summer man. I hope you have things to do besides waiting around for a video card before you can continue on living. Try reading a book or possibly getting a girlfriend.

There's always Jack Daniels to get you through a few rough days!
Problem is by the time the vid card arrives you won't be in any shape to even see the PCI-e slot!

Well thats definitely tough but there is nothing like another girl to ease the pain even if its just for a night or two.
I don't think a GPU will come even close. Well maybe a GTX...

Seriously; I'm a total computer addict and I could still get by without a decent vid card for a week. If you absolutely can't get out and "kick it" outside or "chill" with your special lady friend,(find a new one, if you can pretend to like dancing you can have any you want) at least catch up on some reading or something. The buy-> return crap drives prices up for everyone. Grrrr.

Edit: On second thought, just go find a lady. You'll have plenty of time to screw around with new vid cards after you're married and pissed off.
