Looks like you have a problem with the keyboard also

Did you only get whats in the sig or did you get a monitor and stuff as well?

If not you paid far to much IMO. Id have paid no more than £500 - £550

scotty32 · 7 Jul 2006 at 16:01

Oo er! Yeah that's a great deal, I think.

crashuk · 7 Jul 2006 at 16:21

is it 2nd hand? or new, if its 2nd hand its not worth it, anyway if you live in chelsea i can build one for you as i live near the grounds.
but theres lots of things you left out like what hard drive size/speed etc.. does it come with a monitor crt or tft what size.

its not a GeForce 7900 GTX its a 7800gtx, plus you have 939 board & chip with dd2 mem?

crashuk · 7 Jul 2006 at 16:41

In my opinion i wouldnt buy anything till nov06- jan 07, its 4 months away. i really want to upgrade but just waiting on ddr3 and some other stuff thats due out after summer.

Stelly · 7 Jul 2006 at 17:00

definately a bargain

Stelly

utherpendragon · 7 Jul 2006 at 17:08

you ain'tgonna be getting a ddr3 system until at least mid-2007, most probably later than that.

OcUK don't do the 7800s anymore, but my mate paid similar prices for his 7800GTXs prior to 7900s launch.

As for the memory, the OP says himself its Ballistix, i always thought this was DDR2 - I went for the dual channel stuff [didn't realise it was DDR2] could be wrong, know nowt about Crucial. Either way 2GB DDR will cost similar amount anyway.

Besides, even if he was only saving 200 quid it would be a bargain.
