I can also recommend one of these if you go for the 6800:



Arctic Cooling nVidia 5 (6800 Series) VGA Silencer (HS-009-AR)

You will need a spare slot next to your AGP slot to fit it though...

I can second this. Have the same cooling solution on my ATI X800 XT and it's really, really quiet and provides excellent cooling, should you have a thing for overclocking.

what do you think of THIS one?

are Ebuyer any good to deal with?

is this a good price?

I was looking for a flatscreen, but with bf2 on the scene, it looks like I'm gonna ditch the old 5600 for summat a bit more pokey.

I'd appreciate your views

you know there's a section on these forums for this?

ebuyer are cheap and if your product is retail boxed you are probably fine. Always check for reviews as they occasionally mis-describe products (usually only really really cheap ones though)

The main thing you miss out on is aftersales support, though I've used their e-ticket system and it sort of worked, and anyway not a lot of places have great aftersales support :eyebrow:
