    Its a bit of a tricky one.

    If it was my dell, I wouldn't blink at putting a 5770 in there, its the same or less power draw as the 8800GT.

    However, this being the building forum, the "recommended" route is always a quality PSU, e.g. 80+ efficiency 450 watt

    HD5770s use less power than 8800GTs and that 375W PSU will be a decent Delta unit with either 350W or 360W of 12V capacity on it depending on age so I don't see an issue :)

    well lads, misses is in austria. so for my suvenier she will bring me a gpu :P.

    So what would be alternative to 5770 if she wount find it?

    alternative would be with similar performance or better, but still work with my psu.

    thanks lads!

    I thought for a moment that you said Australia and remember people complaining about outrageous prices there.
    The 6850 as I recommended before would be the next power light GPU.

    I can't figure out for sure if it is an unlockable version unfortunately, not enough product detail.

    Be quick, funky Xigmatek Midgard White Case €36 odd euro delivered from OCUK

    Nice price but I don't think I could bring myself to buy a white case :P

    Also looks like a mis-price as the black version is 55 pounds.

    No misprices, it's a special limited offer. White wouldn't be my thing either but it could be done well

    Shipping costs £12.50. Altogether it comes to £40.50. I havent used OCuk in years so i cant comment on their delivery times now.

    Not just pink, go for hello kitty while your at it :P

    Yep, but a seriously incredible price in fairness. You could nearly use that price as an investment!

    I would say so. They don't require some odd ECC SODIMM do they?

    ive no idea. a friend of mine has 1 and he keeps asking me to find him ram. looking back though, i think he can only take DDR2 so it doesnt matter either way i suppose.

    Anyone here working in HP! Love to know if we are going to get a chance to buy these tablets cheap. Never had much interest in them before but if I was able to pick one up for under Eur100 I wouldnt say no!

    Same as. Would prefer the 32GB though instead of the 16GB.

    Went to the library to study for my repeats this morning and just said I would have a quick look on hardforums (and boards!) before I started. Have spent most of that time trying to find out more about this.

    I see that it started directly from the HP website where you could get a 32gb for $129 if you are a student. Id expect them to do something similar here. Since it only came out in the last couple of months there must be a fair amount of stock around.

    Anyone know what shops are stocking them in Ireland. I see them in Harvey Norman anyway. Cant imagine them selling them for under Eur100!
