Not sure, but when I was at uni they jumped from the £1k to the £3k and never had to pay anything more. Think this £6k will work the same, anybody already enrolled remains on the initial tuition fees.

my room is freezing - so im deciding to put in an order next week for another 5850 to go into my 'room heater'

I have a choice between these 2...

http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/p.../nov-5850.html

XFX HD 5850 Black Edition 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI....

----

as for the novatech one - aparently, theres been a lotta talk from people that have bought the novatech branded 5850. but when they recieved it, it turned out to be a Palit/powercolour or some other manufacturer

the XFX is £10 more and of course for that extra £10 im getting a brand i can trust. the Novatech however is more of a mystery. from what people say, it depends on what ever they have in stock at the time

"Shitty" Link are the worst couriers ive personally used.
Royal Mail on the other hand are decent, depends where you live but the price to quality of delivery is not bad compared to like UPS where the price is extremely rip off.

EDIT: HDNL got a spot on watchdog on BBC for missing delivery times and claiming they delivered but no one was in.

If they privatised the royal mail i wouldnt like it, they did that in the Netherlands and the replacements are worse than the public mail system they used to have.

EDIT: Tatty nice scope on the deals recently.

Just got myself a Novatech 6850 for £130 inc p+p, only difference is the one i got has a Red PCB and cover.

Pffft! Cereal. It's all about the Fry Up!

Cumberland sausages, 2 fried eggs, baked beans, fried mushrooms, black pudding, bacon, fried tomatoes and some fried bread!

This. Add a cup of coffee, put the lot in a polystyrene takeaway box, and it's called a "breakfast in a box" for £3.50!!! Killer price, and it's only at the end of my road! I've never been so happy!
