Whilst you had it running did you notice any issues with noise? As i'm assuming there's a lack of space in a Shuttle and there could be heat problems.
Would give me a good idea on if it's a wise purchase for a Sugo (not much bigger than a Shuttle).
Ta.

LOL, bit of sellotape here and there, hell if you're careful not to rip the seals you can just put them back on.
Or just say it arrived bashed up.

Well initially the card ran pretty loud, all testing i done was with the case off the system. late yesterday though i tried the on disc drivers, installed the full package that contained the drivers, ccc, hdmi audio driver etc. After that the card was deadly quiet. Was playing doom 3 for a bit and the fan never revved up at all, was getting worried thinking the cards fan was in 2d mode or something but apparently thats how quiet they can be.

Dude there is about 100 seals nowadays in these packages including security seals, I suspect OcUK scrupiously check the boxes and stuff thats returned

Hmm a very interesting revelation...I've tried the CD drivers and still got the fan issue, is there any steps you took to sort it?
, baffled here.

Well then laugh away, because that's exactly what you can do under the distance selling regulations...
Basically, you've got 7 working days starting the day after the receipt of the goods to assess your purchase and decide if you need to return it. You don't need to give a reason if you decide to return it, but you need to have taken 'reasonable care' of the goods, and return as much of the original packaging as possible. It's a good idea to contact the retailer first though.
You can also have 'used' the goods, in the case of computer components, although understandably some items are exempt from return under DSR regs, eg undercrackers!!
Some online stores might not like the DSR regs very much, but it's the law, and if they want to do business mail order, then they have to live with it.
Incidentally, OCUK have been first rate in my experience when returning a couple of things over the years, they know you'll be back if they look after you!!

Does the meeting consist of Britains least funniest comedians?
