    Re: Superbudget rendering machine

    Yeah HEXUS has a 580 system drawing 450W at the wall under Furmark: http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphi...eview/?page=16

    I don't know how hard that pushed the CPU - in theory if the CPU wasn't running at 100% under that test then it could go a bit higher.

    Re: Superbudget rendering machine

    You could always get a CX-M 550W??

    Having said that,there are some other alternatives:

    Re: Superbudget rendering machine

    I mate, I have a GTX660 Ti gathering dust here, probably not that far different from the GTX580 performance wise but certainly easier on the power budget. Yours delivered for £50

    mod edit: this is not the For Sale forum, gents...

    I have replied to all PMs received.

    I am yet to receive any invitations to PMQ, although it was once hosted just over there <points>.

    Ideally things like this should take place in the For Sale forum, either by one party posting a For Sale thread or the other posting a Wanted thread*. Using the proper channel means a) you've got an open and transparent agreement on the sale, and b) you're not encouraging people who don't have access to FS to think they can buy and sell in open forum.

    *n.b. Wanted threads have less stringent requirements than FS threads so are probably the easiest way to do this...

    Of course. If I were purchasing I'd prefer there to be a public paper trail too, so I'd always request a for sale thread.

    This time, however, I passed
