5 sold already, jesus.

 

[Gibbo]

Are the cards exactly the same as shown in the picture (stock cooler) ?

Yes we made it very clear with Asus we only wanted reference cards with their voltage tweak technology and they come with Starcraft II trial and Far Cry 2 full game.

 

[Gibbo]

I also hope you told them to send you a truck full, as I recon come month end payday these are going to sell like crazy !

Well we took everything they had from their Netherlands warehouse, about 300 units and a remaining 400 coming from another warehouse but unfortunately those were slightly more expensive but we expect to not hit that batch until stock arrives and hence pre-order price should remain unless those 300 sell out quicker than expected.

 

[Gibbo]

One of the best deals ever from OCUK.

The 5850 MSI deal was more popular and is still flying even now its a higher price.

 

[Gibbo]

So how does that compare to the GTX480? Is the GTX480 worth the extra £70? Getting very confusing the graphics card market right now, had my mind set on on a GTX560 then this deal comes along and now you're mentioning the 5850 deal I want to play games at 1920x1080 on max settings if possible, should I immediately discount any of these based on those criteria?

Ta

The 5850 will manage that resolution with absolute ease.

 

[Gibbo]

Very tempted but I don't want to have to upgrade my PSU as well, it's an OCZ 600W, this one I think:-

Will it be ok (i5 2500k CPU @4.4Ghz, 1 HDD, 1 Blu-Ray drive)? Should be surely?

Cheers
Andy

Your PSU will be fine!

 

[Gibbo]

If ETA is Friday, is dispatch also going to be on Friday?

Yes.

 

[Gibbo]

Guys

Excellent news!

The 480's have arrived early, all pre-orders will be shipped today and I've got several hundred spare, I shall hold this pre-order price until Friday as promised, but after that UP THE PRICE GOES!

Don't miss out, GRAB ONE NOW!

 

[Gibbo]

even though my pre-order was only a couple of hours ago will this still go?

Yes as long as your payment was cleared.

 

[Gibbo]

Here is a picture of what you get:-

P.S. You don't get the CPU's, Cup, Keys to the car or the burger though!

 

[Gibbo]

Oh damn and blast it, I can't be bothered fannying around trying to decide what to buy any longer, it's not like I'm buying a car after all. I'm going to order one of these, I have noticed it says they are in stock on the website now, does this mean if I order one now I will get it tomorrow?

Yes but order before 4pm as you can imagine our warehouse now has 300+ extra orders to ship on top of their normal daily amount but they are gonna keep going until they get them all out.

 

[Gibbo]

I changed my order to Saturday deliver; I presume it'll still be shipped for tomorrow with free delivery? (please)

Nope if your on Saturday delivery, you will get it Saturday. You need to call sales and get this changed.

 

[Gibbo]

If I call into the shop this afternoon to buy one, do I still get it at the "pre-order" price?

You sure do, be here before 5:30pm.

 

[Gibbo]

Emailed you back Robert, has all been sorted for you. Check your inbox.

Your doing an excellent job mate, our customer service goes up another gear.

 

[Gibbo]

Oh so very tempted.. 3 will do though me thinks.

These have the little foam strip along the pcb at the back?? (cant check, on hols )

They sure do!

 

[Gibbo]

We've sold 62 in the last hour, bloody epic!
Thats a card per minute.

 

[Gibbo]

Hi there

Just over 24hrs left to get one of these at this price.

 

[Gibbo]

Glad you guys getting delivery nice and easy.

 

[Gibbo]

You going to be sharing how many you sold of this deal?

Got to say, I'm curious. Especially after the 'card per minute' revelations upthread a ways...

In total 412 units so far, not bad for less than a week worth of sales.
