how do i find start date on my solo card? i am wanting to buy an item from these listed, but i need a start date and my card doesnt have one :S

Have a few stabs in the dark - the month will be the same as the end date and surely you can remember what year you got the card.

dont worry the item i want has gone, all is lost for young me

i think it was on the back in some random place, i cant memeber when i got the card as i was probably about 15/16/17 when i got it

I think that I have spotted last night (unless I was dreaming) Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT-X 512MB for the £240 - something in the B-grade section. Of course, until I realised what's going on, I guess it was gone in a flash

Here's hoping there's nothing significantly wrong with the screen I ordered...and I don't get the same problems people seem to be having on the graphics card forum version of this thread... :eek:

Thats because I bet it hasn't been dispatched yet. Use the webnote system, shop people dont tend to monitor the forums.

Nor me, but they've taken my (gf's) money!

Anyone concerned about dispatches etc. might want to check out Gibbo's post on the gfx forum.

There was a bit of a mess up with the ordering system or something.

Mud · 23 Apr 2006 at 02:29

That thread is 6 pages long (on 80 posts/page)!

Hopefully all is ok, I'm obviously antsy since I want my bargain and the only other thing I have to think about is the final couple of hand-ins for my degree :eek:

I sent a webnote on friday and no one replied to it ...

They took my money instantly as well.

Have you recieved it then?

Mud · 26 Apr 2006 at 14:14

Nope, refund. Didn't get didn't get any compensation like the graphics card orderers did either. Gf dealt with that seeing as it was her money/email, hopefully she was tactful but in any case, no result.

vanandjuanunited · 26 Apr 2006 at 14:17

You think thats bad I lost 3 orders even though I rang and checked stock after ordering. Mightily pee'd off. Offered nowt myself. Sent a webnote and got a reply. Sorry blah blah stock take this week will sort it out. No use to me cos I lost all the stuff I wanted.

slinky malinky · 26 Apr 2006 at 14:53

Don't worry I lost about 10 motherboards i had ordered, even after checking the second i ordered over the phone and on the website, no explanation, the orders just sat there until i chased them up over the phone.

You would think for a company such as this they would invest some of their profits in a decent stock control/ordering system. Very unprofessional IMHO.
