i cant seem to find them anywere, scan says next week but im not so sure !
either that or a decent priced EVGA 280 would do as i could put a water block on it, wouldnt really want to pay over 360 for a evga as there are other options. i dont want to balls up my warranty tho.
afaik EVGA allow the removal of the heatsink. ?

there you go :P
even they dont have stocks !
wht you mean? it watercooled isnt tht what you want?
what part of "its not in stock" didnt you understand ?
its not rocket science to realise that means they dont keep stocks and assume there supplier does.Quote:
Availability*3-7 days dispatch Buy Now
at least scan say "pre order" being a bit more honest about it.
and scans isnt a bodge job of an overprices POS that the vadmin site has, i already saw that anyway.
unless vadims site says same day dispatch they dont have it in stock.
does it have to be stock watercooled? ek have their 280 blocks out already
would prefer it for warranty, even tho BFG did reply and say you can reapply heatisnk paste, so i could get away with it !
and shadowcreeper, vadim went into liquidation today lol
lol i know jokes......^^ lucky i suggest you buy a seperate water block for the gtx280 then add, cos usealy the stock waterblocks can be kinda poor at times.
i think scan has got one i belive in stock
i know m8 but the price of the bfg h20 card is so low i couldnt buy both parts and put them together for the same
have u got a link for it?
by the way why you getting gtx280? you know it kinda rip off card.
id get a 4870 or if you realy need the power get 2 and it still be cheaper..
because i have a custom water cooled nvidia motherboard that i dont intend to upgrade in the near future, i was running 8800gtx's in SLI until it popped and scan cannot get a replacement so im stuck with a bit of money for my 6 month old £300 card (will be lucky to get £100 out of them)
i want to go sli again so im going to buy a gtx280 now and another in a few months when prices drop
so ATI is not an option.
and i want a water cooled card so i dont have to faff about with it as i want to cool my video with water as the rigs setup ready.

by the time i buy a decent crossfire board and water blocks its going to cost more than 2 3870's
guess so, still 400 quid quite a lot for single card, have you thought of getting a 260 instead sinse it only a little slower than 280 and this only in super high res.
or maybe 2x gt9800s+
scan said there option was a 9800gtx, tbh i prefer the top of the range or i would be waiting for my 9800gtx and flogging mo other 8800gtx to get another 9800gtx.
its just not me. i want a 280 end of story.
i run 1920x1200 native and even 2 8800's dipped below 60fps in some games due to vsync being enabled, and as i use trackIR in games that support it people who also have it will tell you screen tear is a nono with trackIR so it has to be able to push high fps to keep its head over 60fps
it wont be long b4 i get the itch to get a 2nd 8800gtx, then a 790 chipset and a 3rd will be on the cards.
