sapphire 6870

[royal]

Hello there.
I am thinking of buying a 6870 v/c,have one in mind a Sapphire 6870,£179.97
free delivery,wondering if i should buy it,seeing it seems pretty low price compared to other 6870s,and wondering this v/c is the same as the other 6870s,or perhaps just wait until the new ati v/cs comes out this week,hoping the other 6870 brands will drop in price.

Hope i can have some opinions on this!
Thanks.

PS.I notice the v/c has a big fan in the middle of the v/c,whereas some sapphire v/cs has the fan at the end of the v/c,is there a difference between the 2 of them?

Just wait and see what amd has to offer.

I remembered getting a sapphire 6870 for £170 and sold it 2 weeks later for the same price.

Did it have the big fan in the middle of the v/c,or the fan on the end of the v/c?

I don't know wether the big fan in the middle of the v/c,dumps the air into the case,and the fan on the end of the v/c dumps the air out of the case?

I got the one with fan at the end.

Shouldn't be a problem if you got a exhaust fan in the rear or top to extract the hot air out.
