I own the RADEON 9800 Non PRO and have overclocked it but my case runs hot so I havent pushed it due to worries about the temperature.

He charges £8 for P&P to Ireland.

I think due to the whole sterling kickin euro ass at the min komplett work out a little better.

Sapphire 9800se -> €191
PowerColor 9800pro -> €296
Sapphire 9800pro -> €308


Im glad of this link TBH, cheap delivery over here (reasonably) and he says he should be able to beat any price in the uk........ id go to scan etc and find the cheapest get him to match it and your winnin all the way??

Id be a little worried about how good the company is?
Any problems dealing with them at all?

I sent a bank draft to him, he put it in his account and he sent the card resgistered insured post without any problems the same day.

Hes a chinese bloke ordering in from chine, I dont know if hes dodgy but I know my card from him wasnt and 2/3 other people for the TR forums who dealt with him recomended him to me.

My 9800 non pro worked out at a little over €300 in November.

Yeah second that, thanks El_MUERkO

Just had a wee look and prices on his website are 20-40% higher than Komplett.ie and that is not even taking into account the VAT difference. Even if he'd match the Komplett.ie price and you save a few bob on shipping, would you feel as safe returning goods?

Nope, but will keep link anyway, you never know

I think only the guaranteed overlocked stuff is worth looking at. But hes too expensive at the moment.

El_MUERkO

Been away on holidays, forgot about this post,

Give him a mail Ricardo, if he can match something and make a profit he most likely will.

I just ordered a 9700pro for €230 from www.jes-computer.de .......... thats a fantastic price i think, and they have the artic cooler at the cheapest price ive seen anywhere - €13.

Also komplett have the 9800pro @ €266, which is fantastic aswell.......

Don't know much about graphics cards really but is this good value? Anybody dealt with them?

COL_LOKI, why are you buying the 9700 for €230 when you can have the 9800 for €266?

I'm not a graphics expert, as you know, but just from the point of resale value, the 9800 seems to be a better deal

RicardoSmith

Komplett have a Power Color Radeon 9800pro for 266 and its not in stock, which is pretty typical for Komplett. OcUK have the Sapphire one for 289 + Del and its in stock.

COL LOKI, do you know if that Arctic cooler takes up a lot of room? i.e. will it rob my only PCI slot? Space is at a premium in my Shuttle but a quieter, cooler 9700p would be worth €13.

I got my Radeon from this guy. Not a problem.

Very good point and one that ive went back and forth over. Basicly the price was just right, with the artic cooler i should be able to get it to atleast 9800pro speeds.
I was ordering the 160gb hard disk anyway so its not costing me anymore on carraige where komplett would have charged me €15 extra.

Thats a not in stock 9800pro for (total) - €280 extra
Or an in stock still very fast 9700pro - €230 extra

That was my logic behind it........ €50. Im not a huge gamer but still play a good bit. The 9700pro will do nicely and it should be silently cooled which is a big thing (also another reason i went with jes-computer).

Komplett have a Power Color Radeon 9800pro for 266 and its not in stock, which is pretty typical for Komplett. OcUK have the Sapphire one for 289 + Del and its in stock.

Yea komplett are bad for doing that....... jes-computers have a 9800pro (sapphire) for €285 +delivery also.

COL LOKI, do you know if that Arctic cooler takes up a lot of room? i.e. will it rob my only PCI slot?

Im almost possitive it will take up one PCI slot, it is a pretty big cooler TBH. Very highly rated cooler btw and for €13 its a steal, if you can get away without the extra PCI slot then its a good buy with very good overclocking potential.
