    There is an embargo on the price drop.

    To confirm SCAN will be matching any price drop and stock will land at the same time as everyone else as well, so no stock will be shipped any sooner through pre-ordering now.

    Not forgetting Free carriage on a next day service from SCAN...

    Best Regards

    I have a skt 939 X2 Anyway a higher speed bin means it will be more stable on lower volts, which is a good thing

    I'm not sure I agree - it's the same price as the bottom of the range X2 chip was five years ago, and there's been five years of inflation and technological advancement in the meantime. It's not a budget chip, I'll give you that, but it's a reasonable price for an enthusiast line chip.

    Aye, definitely a decent price to get the architecture.
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Sorry to sound like a noob here, but why is the Hexus OcUK relationship so bad?

    I thought it was a Novatech vs OCuk thing. Pretty sure Hexus is above that nonsense.
