Sounds like old news. In Seattle there used to be Electronics Boutique that was a game store (now gamestop has the location). EBGames sold video cards and sound cards. That is where I had bought a sound blaster live sound card unit for about $260 when I was 14 years old. Later on, probably when gamestop took over, they didn't sell video cards when I wanted to buy one. Back around 1998 or so
