| 785047 | 2009-06-24 06:48:00 | Only ever made one purchase from Tastech, an 8600GT silent cooled... Well it took about 2 weeks to get here and when it finally did it had faulty RAM But a replacement was received in only a few days after I sent the faulty card to a place in Auckland (I think it was Dove) I think his choice of courier was pretty useless but otherwise it was OK |

| 785048 | 2009-06-24 08:17:00 | I've also read that the 900 is so big the most of the time extender PSU cables are needed. I'm going to use an ATX sized PSU so it should be OK? |

| 785049 | 2009-06-24 09:56:00 | The only PSU cable that you MAY need to get an extension for is the 12v (AUX?) 4/8pin connector for the CPU. My Antec NeoHE's cable even reached through the back of the 1200 case I had. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 785050 | 2009-06-24 09:59:00 | Nah, its fine really. Get a proper PSU and the cable should be fine. IIRC the 900 does have the PSU on the bottom though, some people think its great, others don't. Blam |

| 785052 | 2009-06-24 10:39:00 | Looks great! That graphics card is an excellent choice, I've read that it performs very well in Xfire, almost on par with the GTX 280 but for much less. :) |

| 785053 | 2009-06-24 10:59:00 | Thanks All! | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
| 785054 | 2009-06-28 09:36:00 | Just wondering, if I put in an ATi Radeon HD 4870 into the pc, would the power supply be able to handle it and would the case be big enough? | pcuser7895 (12979) | ||
| 785055 | 2009-06-28 09:44:00 | Yep and yep. From what i can tell the 4870 should sit just under the 5.25 bays | hueybot3000 (3646) | ||
