nope
Can you? Surely if they wanted you to order more than 1 they'd just give you that option when ordering?
Oh Gibbo, why do you make my choices more difficult than they already are?
I was hoping that you would do a Custom Cooled 290 for £300 or a decent price on a 780 and then this shows up. Now I'm not sure if I should hold out for one of those or get this card and live with the reference cooler, and hope that we don't get a hot summer.

I have the exact same dilemma. Custom coolers will add £50+ to the cost so will be looking at £370+ after all is said and done. Could sell the games I suppose.
What to do?

I think if you ordered 20 you would find them cancelling, I have ordered 2 - in separate orders when I have wanted a pair and never had a problem... As with most things in life its a case of don't take the **** and most people will accommodate you
I was just pricing up a Nzxt Kraken cooler but that adds ~£60 to the cost. So it comes down to performance Vs a 290 with a better cooler.
Is the Powercolor 290X a reference layout card?
I'm guessing it's going to be very noisy/hot in x-fire if I get two. Anyone know roughly how much a quiet watercooling setup might cost me on top? I currently only have a Corsair H110 for my CPU.

Yes reference card with stock cooler.
If they are very close together they will run hot and loud.
Gibbo, I wonder if I can ask you something about an RMA problem my brother has with his MSI card purchased in June.Neither overclockers or MSI will do anything since it's a Bgrade product. MSI have said it is not in warranty but that can't be the case.Me and my brother often buy stuff on here and it does leave a bit of a sour taste in the mouth.Is there anything that can be done?
All our B-grade is advertised with a 90-day warranty, if its out of that period then unfortunately not.
B-Grade can be a repaired product at times which the manufacturer reduces the term on, hence why B-grade section clearly has the 90 day period.
Yes but should this not affect the manufacturers warranty should it not? It's a not a 90 day with MSI it's three years.

If we have mentioned it then we will honor it and get it refunded.
Maybe I am mistaken and manufacturers once it is repaired no longer offer the full term, shall get my RMA manager to post a reply here and he will sort your refund.
If that's the case and you only get 90 days then B-grade items need be priced way less than new. Speaking of clearance items, you might want to get someone to sort out the dodgy pricing on some of the B-grade GPUs.

Bailey I believe you spoken to him over the phone earlier. The order number is 4257561.I hope you will honour what Gibbo said and sort a refund.
Of course I will honour that my friend.
What is the exact fault with the card?
Bailey
Prices have not being updated is why, B-grade is not a priority for us. All prices now updated, some bargains to be had.
It does not post on several motherboards.It gives the graphics card error code on an MSI Z77 Mpower board.It also won't post on an quad core AMD board it gives the beeps for failed card.Also it has been tried on a separate Gigabyte board and it does not post on that either gives the same beeps.Each a different setup.The fans spin but nothing.
