    You could try using a program called slimdrivers. It found a driver for my ancient wifi dongle http://www.driverupdate.net/

    The H70 looks nice, but it's €15 more for a slightly louder and warmer (ok it's like 1 or 2 degrees more but still) cooler.

    I'd only get it if I didn't have the obese 922.

    Nice, those dual tower coolers are a PITA after a while, im thinking of sidegrading to a H70 for ease of use.

    The 5850 is getting a twin, and im getting another 4GB of these XMS3's (60 quid for the set, nice one :D ) Cant wait :D

    BTW....and Hmmm ...Does this seem like on-topic hardware discussion:D

    I like the idea of turning a rad into a pump top, but when you consider the prices of the components in question... does €40 plus €40 really add up to €180? :eek::o

    Oh my days... I want that. PC Cases are soooo 2010, lets just screw out components to some plywood and hang it on the wall.

    But seriously, where did that pci-e extender cable come from?

    Hah, hold up there Rick. I know what they are, just no idea where to find one. Google isn't much help unless i want to order it from china, and be in with the chance to win an iPad.

    Never gonna give you up, never gonna let you down... ;)

    I'm surprised no one is complaining about the latency that the PCI-E expander introduces :P
