Right, well after much nudging from you lot I bought a new GFX card to replace my 8800GTX.
It's installed and from what I can tell, working. Not played any games yet though. I prmised pics, so here they are..:

I was quite suprised how much smaller it was.
I'm a bit annoyed because I thought the fan noise in my case was the 8800, turns out it must be the 2000RPM fan at the back :/ Either that or my stock cooler. Might replace the fan as it's a tad annoying. However, I could hear the 8800 under load but this one seems silent so far. I may overclock it but will see how I go with just normal games to start of with.
That and the fact that it booted with only 1 screen so all my well placed icons were moved
Currently it's sat at ~39 degrees idle, not bad as my case is pretty dire and cable management is bad.
I ordered it on Friday, payment cleared on saturday so I didn't get it until today because of the bank holiday However...the new scan deliveries are very good. I got given a timeslot of an hour so that I could plan to be in of 15:36-16:36. I looked out the window at 15:36 and there was the delivery van. Superb timing!
