fair enough mate, dont think we should get into an NVidia vs ATI discussion here tho

 

But we dont want the FX fuzz and footlongs already said earlier on.

Ignore the EBAY link in my above post. the guy is selling
9800 pro 'Special Edition'. a Google search reveals that it is a
4 pipeline jobbie (i.e. not the usual 8) - thought it was too
good to be true

Decided to stick with Nvidia as the MOBO has Nvid chip,

Sounds harmonious to me

Si

 

Got a reply from the top firm

Dear Si

Thank you for your e-mail.

Because we trade exclusively over the internet are prices are as low as we can get them and so unfortunately we are unable to offer a discount.

However if you were to place an order you would save on carriage because you would only be charged £2.99 EX VAT no matter how many cards you bought.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you require any further information.


What do people want too do?

Si

you can put me down as a maybe if the price is right. would consider £275 tops i.e. inc VAT.

look forward to hearing what you come back with.

cheers

Above dude, pcnextday are cheaper than any group buy arranged with other companies, so therefore i'd say go with them and place orders individually if you want one, no point having all the effort of a group buy to save £2.99 postage.

This way also means that we can buy when we're ready and there is nothing to be gained from "getting one now because they're cheap on a group buy".

 

Seems cheaper to buy the £268 one above individually tbh

Si

 

Cool - Microdirect ATI Rad 9800 Pro 128MB DDR 8x AGP +DVI +TV out Retail - £269inc VAT, and it's just down the road so no P&P.

Try emailing them, I'm sure they'd do a group buy, I know they do student discount.

Would people have the power colour 1?

Si

 

Oh, I thought a 9800 pro was a 9800 pro??

What's the difference?

 

Here's a benchmark Vs. the other cards, http://www.nordichardware.com/review...index.php?ez=9

 

emailed them.

Id be happy with that

Si

 

Count me in as a defo.

My bloke at the company will equal the £268 card abovce as the 9800 pro has dropped a wee bit.

Im seeing if he'll do £265 inc p&p for 10 people

Si

 

why not just buy online when you want for £268 inc vat?

surely you'll want to get £250inc vat to make a group buy worth the effort?

 

id be happy with £265 in pnp.

if you got the 268 one youd still need delivery charge. Your choice

Si

 

its £2.99 dude!

 

Special Delivery is more then that

[Edited by super_si - 30/07/2003 12:13:56]

 

all i'm getting at is that people are less likely to make a purchase on a group buy unless they're getting a significant discount.

 

5 confirms and people saying it its less then £275 there is.

 

well how exactly do you intend on getting people thier cards, you'll have to pay delivery either way

 

No thats why i asked delivery inc. Hopefully they will all be sent out from the store.
