Yeah my 8800GT's run at up to 80 degrees c so I am in 2 minds whether to just go for new cooling fans for around £20 each or the watercooling on them for nearly twice the price but I guess they will be twice as efficient, I am not too sure as reviews for watercooled GPU's are a bit rarer than for CPU's.

And the thought that if I sold the 8800gt's off for £100 each and put the extra £80 to it I can afford a 9800gx2......a quandry!

It'd be interesting to see how the EVGA black pearl edition of the gx2 performs and how much it will cost

Apparently its supposed to be around £50 more than the standard EVAG 9800GX2 according to leaked information from EVGA, which means it will be not far short of £400  :shock:

Yeah but the waterblock for one is about £80 anyway. Plus they're a bugger to get apart.

Thats very true they do look a total beast of a graphics card tho, hopefully when Nvidia announce the latest set of GPU's in about 2 weeks or so the prices will lower a bit on the older models.

i've inherited an hp omni book p3 600 mhz and replaced the broken HDD with a new one, but the computer man round the corner wants £40 to put XP on there. fair price?

i don't know how easy it would be to do myself, i think the cd drive is broken but have an external hdd which i could get xp onto....

If you have an XP license already then I wouldn't pay £40. If you don't have one then it is worth it.

In terms of how you do it:
