August 26, 201114 yr Author Di The system I had built that I gave my son was by Scan, they are an excellent company, I will call them tomorrow as they are closed now. I want to ensure that it will go into my system. I don't doubt your advice, I am not sure if they will be willing to offer advice re a different companies system1 I have just seen your location. I used to work at West Drayton, I am an Air Traffic Controller. Dave Boreham
August 26, 201114 yr Author Di, How do I upload an image I want to show you the inside of my system, I think the GPU will fit but I cant see how to upload the photo Dave Boreham
August 26, 201114 yr Author I tried to upload the photo by copying it into the edit box, but all I got was a hyperlink and now I can't delete it! It is turning in to one of those days Edited August 26, 201114 yr by flabberjabber Dave Boreham

August 26, 201114 yr Author Di, Thanks, the file size was too big, hence it wouldn't upload. From what you said I have sufficient spaces. Once again thank you for the good advice. Dave Boreham
August 26, 201114 yr Plenty of slots there. What's the max length of card you can fit? (measure from the rear plate to as far forward as a card could go in the case* Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 27, 201114 yr I wouldn't get a 6970. Get the 2GB 6950 if you can then google how to unlcok 6950 to 6970 or something and hey presto, you got a 6970! Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society. The optimist invents the airplane and the pessimist the parachute. ~Gil Stern
August 27, 201114 yr 6950 unlock? Don't tell me ATI locked a 6970 at slower clocks and called it a 6950 Di Agron Dell XPS 15 L502X | Intel i5-2540m @ 2.60GHz | 4GB DDR3 1333MHz (2x2GB) | nVidia GT525M | Seagate 500GB 7200RPM | 15" 1366x768 | 23" LG 1360x768 | Got a hardware question?

August 27, 201114 yr Just give it a Google. ATI do silly things and this was one of them. the 2GB 6950 is the same hardware as the 6970 just slightly slower which can be changed.

Except a few things. what do they think us system builders are, spammers? Hey, NGX, when is your system coming? Both optimists and pessimists contribute to our society.
