    Battlestar Galactica MMO announced

    excited - dissapointed - optimistic in that order. having just got a netbook i'm enjoying playing bf heroes on it so more like this can only be a good thing. I've avioded WoW / eve and the like so far as I can't see myself subscribing good money to play as and when I get a spare hour. A good...

    POWERCOLOR HD 5870 LCS 1024MB WATERCOOLED GRAPHICS CARD £398.99 inc VAT

    yup, a £280 card with a £70 block for £400. Usual premium for a prefitted block so retaining full warranty and no risk stripping those horrid little screw on the stock cooler when removing. Nice to see the price coming down to a sensible level, fair play OcUk.

    RevB DVI to HDMI dongle needed

    ok, mine is 6140063501g, it's grey and came with a 4870x2. Sent you a mail but i've no idea of value. Losing it means when my htpc is built i'll have to get a card with hdmi out which porobably bumps the cost a little. let me know how much you paid for the one off the bay and what you think...

    RevB DVI to HDMI dongle needed

    found mine, not at home at the moment. drop me a mail via trust and we'll go from there - no idea what this mayt be worth being so rare!!!

    are we expecting any price drops?

    I may be spouting crap iirc previous 'specials' like twin fan versions have been awful overclockers..... I wonder sometimes if these 'specials' are a way to tempt people into buying cards made with lesser binned chips? After all the relative cost to say msi for the twin fan cooler design...

    RevB DVI to HDMI dongle needed

    I may have one from a 4870x2 bud, was hanging onto it for a future HTPC build but funds are massively tight. Will find it out tonight, drop me a mail tomorrow if I don't reply. Btw this thread may get deleted / locked due to this sort of thing is supposed to be in the wanted section of the mm.

    The Great Big OCUK Blood Drive \o/

    thats not entirely true, Gordon Brown might. edit - thinking about it maybe even he would baulk at Tefal's.

    The Great Big OCUK Blood Drive \o/

    I've never given blood before, just something I've meant to do and not gotten round too. So for todays good dead of the day I've booked an appointment on the 18th April at East Midlands Designer outlet for 11.30. Hopefully there will be some pretty nurses to look after me for a change.

    yup but tech moves fast... with the sorry exception of Nv gpu's :p

    Accelero Xtreme planned for Radeon HD 5970?

    cost is really the only factor for me - if you have a loop that will either take this or need fettling to take this go with the wc option - if not wait it out. If your fan dies in the meantime you've only to wait on a new card from rma.

    Grrrr - XFX ATI Radeon HD 5770

    nope, for every 5,000 sold you get a new 599 ;)

    OcUK Alienware AW2310

    this is pretty much it. alienware was reviewd in custom pc a couple of issues ago (or maybe the last one?). 120hz screens will be pretty much the default in no time.

    Accelero Xtreme planned for Radeon HD 5970?

    if you have the option of wc it's a no brainer, just! For anyone who hasn't used one the accelero has proved an excellent cooler - quiet and efficient it's just mahoosive and heavy!

    Some Gears Of War screenshots...

    I find it does this one in 15 games on average - higher or lower depending on what time of day you game. Even when I play someone stateside it's sometimes playable AS long as they have a reasonable connection ( mine is OK). Bear in mind though that I'm playing a lot of horde atm so small lag...

    Xbox 360 repair - worth it?

    jasper machines are MUCH better. Buy an elite bundle, sell your existing machine on the bay complete or split it for more money. Elite bundles are a steal considering.

    Increased delivery costs

    if you want to know who is to blame: approximate the size and weight of your order (easy) and get some quotes directly. For an even fairer comparison if you know of anyone UK or gib side that ships a fair volume through their courier (hence better terms) ask them to run the same quote...

    Ferrari one @ £310

    I'm just smarting over the delay!!!! cpu power isn't really that much of a factor - the SU dual cores blow the x2 out of the water with comparable battery life but at a cost. The x2 for me makes the notebook more usuable in day to day use - less annoying hangs with two programs running and a...
