meh not the biggest deal, ill still save on postage

im more concerned with the 366 one, bloody hell like

Think he meant this, on MindFactory

Hi guys, as you know I have a fecked graphics card. The graphics card box is quite litterly massive and I don't have any boxes big enough to accomidate it safely. The retailer I bought from has non reusable boxes unfortunately :rolleyes:

Would you reckon it would be safe in transit like this (with more stuff in at the sides)

N64,

Most newsagents sell those padded envelopes with the bubblewrap built in for less than a euro-could always tuck a few of those around it, though it looks fine and the GPU box itself has padding I guess

Could try something like this. That, or a T-fitting, with a drain cap. You could also look at a quick disconnect fitting. A bit expensive for what you want, but probably the most precise. Talking about these.

If you've got air in your loop that you wan to get rid of, your best bet it to open your res, and shake your case about until you get it out. It's a pain in the balls, but it's the only real way to make sure.

It should be fine-stuff some crunched up/shredded paper in to the emptytop and bottom sections to stop it moving and you're sorted.

Probably better just plugging a cheap gigabit switch into your existing router. 8-port routers tend to be a bit on the expensive side.

What do you mean by on the left?

Basically that the window/access panel is on the right as you look at the case front on. Most cases are the other way around, but not all. Dell often build theirs this way in fact.

bitfenix outlaw is the first to come to mind

Very nice case. Nice and low key, good price and size(size is important for this, the outlaw would be the smallest I'd go, and 20% larger would be the max). Watching the OC3D TV review now

Update: Nice, three downsides: awkward cable management, limited CPU cooler height(whole thing is on 18cm wide), no option for a H100.

There are a few. Is it ATX you need? The SilverStone Temjin TJ08-E is about the best but it's m-ATX if that matters. Nice reviews and plenty of cooling/watercooling options.
Should be able to find it somewhere for €100.

Nice case but too small as above.

ED E, that's two different standards that you're talking about.

Dell use BTX motherboards and cases. These are designed to be on the opposite side. You won't get many BTX boards around or supporting components.
The Bitfenix Outlaw etc., use ATX boards but mount them upside-down (or just opposite to the standard way of mounting them).

Now that you point it out I dont see how I didnt notice that they were "right way up" on the wrong side. I knew that dell werent ATX compliant.

Obviously this will be ATX built, not BTX

overclockers are a disgrace tbh, one of the worse companies iv ever dealt with. They are fine when your happy with a product but absolute horrible when returning somthing

I was told id have to wait 7 days for a refund, now its 14 days. what a disgrace

Can someone link or quote me european returns policy please about 7 days rule or somthing

edit

eu says 30 days ugh

I hope the exchange rate is in your favour or you'll have a lot more to moan about when you get refunded a different amount in euro.
14 days isn't that bad really. Sure if you're working with a credit card, you don't have to pay for longer than that. I think you give retailers too hard a time.

amazon refund within a day

Amazon's customer service is pretty awesome alright, but overclockers is maybe 1/000th of the size of amazon!

There's no excuse for telling a customer (numerous times) 7 days (even in there first email they sent me it mentions 7 days) but now its 14 days

No excuse for waiting 14 days for a refund.
