  My older sister, she says I can't say how old or older , had a Compaq Presario SR1030NX that was becoming a real pig. Over the years since she bought it I donated compatable components when I did my rebuilds of my own Rig. The limit of upgrade ability was reached. So... taking pity on her and with my birthday and Christmas approaching, I decided to build myself a new Rig and donate my old Rig to my sister. Now she's happy and so am I.
  Here are the results:

    Very nice, love the way those cards have the side GeForce light up

    hehe the famous J8 powered GeForce Led Logo's more about that?  You might find me research interesting

    It seems they have the same geForce logo's as the GTX 480 and not the 580 because it seemed NVIDIA first planned this idea for their GTX 480 cards. Hereby they made 1000's of them geForce Translucent Logo's for their GTX 480's but the company that would produce the leds had issues with the deal with NVIDIA, thus the idea faded until the GTX 590 came to place.
     
    Engineering Samples of the GTX 480 & 580 had these led logo's byt the production models had these logo's painted on them, as for the GTX 590 these leds are connected to J8 [Jumper 8] the exact same Jumper the 480's and 580's would of used for these led logo's

    Dude, the computer is awesome.  Love the setup, but I think your next upgrade may have to be a bigger desk...lol
