Hiya

These are in the Clearance corner at dabs, are any worth me going for? I know the card Ultim has would cost at least £30 in postage, so having a look at other options, as a new case is the second option:

As for the ATI cards I have never really bothered with em so i cant say either way...(nearlly everything is made for nvidia though)

Now, I'll be posting some details over the next week, so any input is greatly received.

Also, can a few of you post what cards you all have, so I can make some sort of comparison (still have that site of comparison for graphics Bjorne).
