Guess what? My new PC doesn't work, like everything I buy :@ All it gives me is continous short beeps which according to the manual means a power error. Have tried a diffrent PSU, 1 stick of DDR3, re-seating GPU/CPU, checked all cables etc. No luck. What can I do?by mika19b - Off-Topic

Yeah the price does seem a little on the silly side but I suppose in time they will drop quite quickly, especially if Nvidia release a new much improved card. I think Nvidia might be slightly worried by ATI's latest card though Edit:// Also Gav I never did reply to your kind offer of looking at my PC did I? Well anyway thanks for the offer mate but I decided Im gonna use this as an exby mika19b - Off-Topic
Slightly OT but have you all seen the new ATI Radeon 5870 1GB? All im gonna say is wow, its the card to get if your after building a powerful new gaming PC. It appears to have 2x the performance of the 4870!by mika19b - Off-Topic
