Just picked up a BFG GTX 280 for £234 in the b-grade section. :)

Also saw a GTX 260 for £165 if anyones interested.

And a 3870 x2 for £150ish.

Dont wanna assist OCUK in selling their goods for them but everyone loves a bargain eh? ;)

Not wishing to frighten you but whats the warranty like on that. Pretty sure the BFG 280's have had a few issues with overheating. More so than the other brands.

Don't know to be fair, I'm phoning them now to query that. Thanks for the heads up.

Ok spoke to the tech support staff apparently its the standard 14 day warranty with OCUK after which its covered for at least a year with BFG. To be honest I may well put this under water so hopefully overheating won't be an issue. Of course, if its a chronic problem before I get the block I'll return it under the 14 day rule I guess.

Personally I would give it some serious hammer for the first 10 Days. May be worth putting it a few overnights with Furmark.
