agreed...horrible base.
If youhaven't got fine glass paper, dont do it....but if like me you dont mind a bit of mild lapping, its OK.
Its doing very well at the mo....was online last night on Forgotten Battles (wots new then) from 9 until 1:30 solid....and was solid as a rock on XP1700@2600
In my eyes...its proper but a pain to have to lap it
