Hey Jack.
I must say I'm pretty stoked you went with my spec. Anyway, the only cards better spec'd than the BFG are the GTX and Ultra; you're not going to get these for £250. The cheapest vanilla (non oc'd) GTX I've found is £280. Why not a different 8800GT? If it's any help you could order this. I've ordered the same card, yes primarily because you can't get a 8800GT for love or money at the moment but also because of it's specs: 640mhz gpu, 1.9 ram. Granted, slightly lower than the BFG and an extra £12, but I'm willing to pay that considering how hard these cards (with a decent oc) are to come by currently. There's a faster version of the same card (xxx edition) on the site as well, pretty much the same spec on the gpu and ram as the BFG but it's also around £35 more than the BFG. Confirmed in stock via a call yesterday. I guess we're both rather annoyed with Scan aren't we.

Hi Alex
When you said there was a faster one would I be right in saying it was this one http://www.dabs.com/ProductView.aspx...0544&InMerch=1 Would there be a noticeable difference? p.s both the cards say they have none in stock

Yeah, thats the faster one.
Smeg.  . When I looked at the site to get the link for my post they were both quoted in stock.Bet these are either flying out or they only had one or two left. I rang after the mess with Scan and was told it was in stock. Methinks I'm going to ring tomorrow a.m to check. I'm gonna find you a card if it kills me.
