Only teasing
Depends what games you play. BF3, witcher 2, walking dead infact a lot of games can use a wired xbox gamepad.
I put a bluray drive in my HTPC too for 3D bluray movies, saved coughing up for a seperate bluray player and I can rip the movies to the rig so i dont have to keep changing disks. If you want to buy a dedicated monitor for the rig i wouldnt blame you
haha its all good
I have the 360 pad actually and it...just does not feel right I prefer keyboard and mouse.
Anything I play on the PS3 is ment for the PS3 but games like RPG, FPS and RTS are all PC in my oppinion.
Good idea with the Blue ray drive dont think I will go that way just yet as the PS3 is Bluray capable as it is - O well monitor hunting I go xD

Would you be able to upload a photo? From your description it does sound like a faulty card - so an RMA sounds like the thing to do.
To answer the questionably in your above posts (sorry I missed the posts):
- Yes if you want to run two cards in CrossfireX then you just need a HD 7850 2GB card from any brand (in fact a HD 7870 2GB card would work - but probably not ideal since you won't get a big performance increase with one in crossfire and they are more expensive). Just make sure you get a board that supports CrossfireX and the second main PCIE slot can run at x8 speed.
- May I ask which model AOC 23in IPS you are looking at? At the moment I would probably recommend this Iiyama 23in IPS over the AOC.

Hi mate sorry cant pic upload im on my mobile as the psu amd everything is out my pc lol was going to do it all in one go.
Its weird there are no screws holding it together even the 5570 i removed had screws attachimg the 2.
There are screws at the back which look like they could go in further but there is no where to screw them into only metal where the filter cooling is

May I ask which particular make and model HD 7850 you went for (as they all use different cooler designs)?

That card should have a cooler that is screwed to the PCB at four places around the GPU socket - if it came apart easily then it wasn't assembled correctly and you are entitled to an RMA replacement. I would suggest you contact the shop you bought it from ASAP and tell them the problem.
I wouldn't suggest you try fixing it yourself - as a self-repair would likely invalidate the warranty (since the company can't guarantee that the repair is up to their standard).

Solid advice mate just got told that by someone else two.
This will be heading back to Over clockers tomorrow will provide a tracking number so hopefully get another despatched same day.
Havent tried anything at all if it had been an easy fix I would have but not know.
