    It's like I've gone back in time several weeks.
    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.

    tremendous to fold with.... come on over if you haven't already!

    To be honest, I bought 2 of these and have been delighted with them since I bought them. They get hot, sure, but when you watercool them the only consideration you need to have is how much power have you got.

    Seriously powerful cards that I will not be upgrading for a long time. Very pleased with them, and being a single card, so much easier to fit a waterblock than the original 295GTX that they replaced.

    Did I mention great for folding on..... hint hint... 16-19k ppd on one of these when @ 800 Mhz.

    Only on deal for the day previously. Now this is a list price reduction on 3 models.... ongoing...

    subtle difference, the main point being you don't have to wait till the weekend deal for the day comes along now.

    Re: News - Price cuts make NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 480 interesting all over again

    Still a good chunk of change more than a 460, how are they compared to the 560s (ie same price range) ?

    EDIT: Answered my own Q - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/309?vs=330
    Hotter, more power hungry, loses in some HDR bench but otherwise seems a better buy

    How do they compare to a 5850 unlocked to 5870 speeds?

    By a strange twist of fate, that's EXACTLY how much you'd have to pay me to play Far Cry 2, which I decided was atrocious from the demo.

    OK. Out pedant-ed. I'll revise.

    Only on deal for the day, or limited batches of stock previously. It's just Scan commodity trading....
