Thanks for the reply. Budget arround £70 (70 UK pounds). Not too worried about noise, as long as it's not like a vacumn cleaner (I've seen levels of about 20db mentioned as being reasonable). Having tried a couple of programs to indicate power requirements of your system, around a 450w...

Thanks for the reply. Doesn't look good eh! Found the thread from Tomshardware. Mind you.... the comments are pretty much weighted for and against. O'well... back to PSU hunting then I suppose. Would you be willing to enlighten me on your preference (IE. need something in the region...

Hi folks I'm looking at buying a HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X800 XL ICEQII TURBO 256MB DDR3 TV-Out/DVI (AGP) graphics card. But am concerned that the heat sink on the back of the card may catch / foul on the leading edge of the memory stick/s on my Asus P4P800-E Deluxe Intel 865PE (Socket 478)...
