Eeek. Not good. I presume you've tried clearing it of dust etc.?

Mine is this one:

In the interest of getting the best deal, you could always do a "wanted" thread here and see what else you could get/the best price.

How much would you want for that card? The only issue I have is the design of the SX38P2 shuttle the PSU is right at the back near the PCI slots so the 8800 I have now is wedged in there, its the asus one so the BFG cooler looks to be similar in size, so should fit the shuttle.

Starting to think I maybe better off cutting my losses and selling the memory, shuttle and the Q6600 and then wait a year or so before I can afford another one and just game on the 360 in the mean time.

I don't really know how much it's worth really - £50 with postage maybe. I'll do a proper FS thread if you do want to go down this route to comply with Hexus guidelines (with first refusal going to you).

One thing you might need to consider is that the PCIe power connector is at the rear - so if your PSU is there you might not be able to plug it in perhaps?

I can sympathise with your idea of selling up and buying a new system though - I'd probably do that in your position unless you use the shuttle a lot for non gaming.

£50 ain't to bad

You got an msn contact as it would be easier

The Asus one has the power connector at the rear to at the bottom of the rear shroud that covers the card. If I did sell the parts I would just use the laptop for now as I just don't have the money to build a new PC.

Sadly no MSN contact here, although you could always PM me. I'll try and put together the FS thread later and make sure I can find the box etc., take pics etc.

Yeah I will let you know how I get on and if I end up selling the shuttle and memory etc along with the q6600. Seems a lad at work has a spare 5770 card sitting at home so I will try that first and if it fits then I will see about getting a 5770 as it has the dx11 support.

*sigh* my k:d got worse last night. I get killed a lot by spawning into into death - that's annoying. Perhaps I should be less hasty and slowly work my way back into the battle instead of finding the nearest spawn to the action.

Yes you have to be careful where you spawn. At least with killcam on you can watch the guy who you're going to spawn on before clicking the go button.

Another annoyance is getting ressed by a 'friendly' medic where you're just going to die instantly, sometimes over and over. Not good if you're trying to improve a bad k/d. If I'm the medic I check it's relatively safe before reviving and whip out my M6 quickly to help defend the one I just revived if needed.

'K. I'll hold off doing the FS thread then. I'd go for the 5770 out of the two if I were you (I'm not a good salesman am I? )


Back on topic...

Does anyone else suffer from a mismatch between the sever browser reported ping of any given server and the actual? I get a huge list of servers with a ping of <30 but when you get into the game it turns out to be >100. It's really annoying!

[Terbinator]

Went back online last time for the first time in about a month (Cheers for the add GheeTsar) and was getting pwned Soon found a 24/7 Atacama Desert server though and was back to winning ways - definitely not as sharp as i was when i was playing everyday though.

[Grey M@a]

GheeTsar can you check your PM's please

[richy19]

does hexus have a BC2 clan?

Maybe it should!

[roorooroo]

Doing well on this so far (sarcasm)..had a few quick games and my kills/deaths ratio is 0.33..lol..good fun though.

[Biscuit]

Id be up for somne organised Hexus BFBC2 action. Was fun playing with Terb a while back on some conquest maps, we made mincemeat of a few tanks!

[Stephen C]

Anyone play the Xbox version?
Wouldn't mind getting back into it but I lack the motivation unless I'm playing with someone that isn't a 13 year old racist American.

[j.o.s.h.1408]

Somethings wrong with my BC2 disk. most of the time it fails to authenticate whenever i try to launch the game.

The sound from my driver sounds like its constantly trying to read something but fails to do so.

There is not a scratch/mark on my disk as well
