:bigrin:

leading the life of a modern student may be hard, but i managed to get this for Â£55 inc.delivery

from http://www.computerxtras.co.uk - very speedy, quick response to emails...anyway...

to the right are some cables - guessing to take extra power for the fan. now my current set up doesn't have these (heatsink) and i have no idea where they go! i have the motherboard manual and i don't want to risk it :P they are part #: A001-W011 - dual power adapter :think:

the instructions with the card are:

- install card into AGP slot
- place driver CD in CD drive
- go.

no wonder it was cheap

With a front picture like that, I'd have serious trouble explaining to my wife that "t'is for the 'puter..."

Ooh, where did you find it? That sounds like a decent price, my FX5900 Ultra is well overdue for replacement. :think:

I think thats quite expensive for a box. When are you getting the GFX card?(!)

But it is a very nice box - if you like that sort of thing!

sorted, the cable connects to the dangling free power cables.

That card is Â£66 incl delivery at the link you posted. Any tips on negotiating Â£11 off?

I just love the smell of new hardware

Hi Guys

My guess is the Â£11 is the VAT as Hinch is Non UK based

(i think)
