    Affordable Graphics cards for moderate screen sizes and regular soldiers to game upon

    Listen up Soldiers, Pilots, Tacticians.......

    I know you've not all got triple head monitors... not even got the space for them. Most of you have got 22" Monitors, or even 19's. You have family to feed.. cars to run. Food to buy

    but also space craft to shoot, swords to swing,... enemy to destroy!

    £300 in 2012.. even £220 for a card to replace the venerable 8800GTX or Radeon 4850/70 card is off the radar.

    Affordable graphics cards... like affordable weapons.. are the name of the game.

    £80.. up to £100ish maybe ... that's what the normal soldier can afford... and so, over the next few hours I want you to keep your eyes peeled....

    PEELED...

    for a friendly Weapons Drop on HEXUS.net

    If you see any chance of not only blagging a new weapon for a trial..... but reviewing it an keeping it......... do so.

    You've had the tip off.... you didn't hear it from me.......

    /touch's nose.

    now.. go.... and say nowt.. just keep your eyes peeled.

    .................................... under radar edit by Zak33 ....................

    I don't understand but i want to BELIEVE!
    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.

    exactly right.

    Low power use, plenty of grunt.. quiet... silent on the passive one..

    and we have FOUR to give away.

    every pilot, tactician, swordmaster, spell slinger, space dude, soldier.... has a chance
