Thats what I thought before I bought it, but it does not seem to fit on that way. It would be to low and card would not go into the PCI-e socket. I just followed the instructions and thats they way it told me to put it on. I would have liked it the other way. The cooler has been working...

That would have made sense! I should have thought of that...oh well a bit late now - should still be fine. Will look to get some sinks on the mosfets. Cheers for the info! :)

Thought I would add a new cooler to my Sparkle 8800GT's as they were getting pretty hot! After gaming was over 80'C! I thought I would try the Akasa AK-VC02-RD Vortexx VGA Cooler as I did not want something as big as the S1 as my case is limited in size and I am running SLI. I also did not...

I was in Staples today and they had this desk for £99.99. (£109.99 on the website?) http://www.staples.co.uk/eng/Catalog/cat_detail.asp?webid=S383499 Looked good so I bought one, easy to setup and plenty of space. Feels pretty solid for a £100 desk! Also you do not have to attach the...

wow! Thats a nice case. Wish I had an Old one like that!

You will get a better laptop for a lower price than the one spec'ed. AMD Option Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pa Laptop Processor: AMD Turion X2 TL-56 - 1.86GHz, up to 1.6GHz FSB, 2x512KB L2 Cache RAM: 1024MB DDR2-533MHz Hard Drive: 120GB Serial ATA 5400rpm Screen: 15.4" Widescreen TFTwith...

fair point. Yeah, maybe they dont give you the fastest framerates, but they will certainly give you the sound, which is I suppose what I want. I have a pretty fast PC Anyway so I dont notice any loss of FPS in games. from the review you posted I think he explains the cards pretty...

Sorry, yeah I did not put it that well. The Crucial Ballistix is Better for overclocking than the OCZ (but the OCZ will overclock just fine). The OCZ is a good buy though. Hope that makes more sense...and I have sorted my sig. ;)

What proof do you have of this? "Running the b-Enspirer through RightMark’s 3DSound CPU Utilisation test garnered results of 0.0526 percent, 0.3186 percent, 0.4124 percent and 0.4488 percent (standard deviation) CPU utilisation using DirectSound 2D, DirectSound 3D hardware and DirectSound 3D...

Supports up to EAX 2. I have no intrest in EAX. Did Microsoft not remove DirectSound 3D from Vista anyway which is the feature that EAX used to work? You can set these cards to work in mulitple ways, and all 5 speakers will work from the optical cable. I normally use 5.1 Channel via DTS...

im now using the Bluegears B-Enspirer. Essentially its a more sensibly priced X-Meridian. Same C-Media Oxygen HD chip, slightly different layout and overall specs. It has been a superb card. Great drivers, great software and great sound. Far better than on board sound! Love just using...

Crucial Ballistix if your overclocking. Prob OCZ if you are not - just for the price

Agree with above. Mine just sit at 1000mhz, but had them over 1100mhz. Best RAM for the price IMO.

my mate has it in his Abit Quad GT. Yep, its good RAM.

Motherboard wise I would go for the Asus P5N-E SLi nForce 650. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-221-AS&tool=3 Memory wise the Crucial Ballistix PC-5300. Will overclock very, very well. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-088-CR Cooler Wise look...

You can buy a Slingbox, and connect that to your Router. I can watch Sky+ anywhere in the house, on my laptop etc via Wifi. I can also control it via my computers and laptop too. However, if you cange a channel on your laptop / computer, then it changes on the box too, no good if someone is...

I agree with this. get yourself a decent case (Akase Eclipse or Mirage 62, Lian Li or Silverstone), cooler and decent components. Save your money by not buying any watercooling at the moment. If you buy a decent case then you can always add watercooling later. With good stuff you will get...

Personally I dont like the design. Would rather have the Radiator at the top of the case or at the back than on the front door. Dont know much about the performance so cant comment. I doubt your PSU choice will power the 8800, Watercooling system and everything else. Look towards something...

Any chance of a more detailed spec. What type of GFX card do you have?
