8800 GT Availability UK

[stevenafc]

Hi all,

Ive got a new system build coming up as my laptop is about to crap out, CPU is running idle at 65-70degrees!

This has forced my hand, I was waiting for the new 9800 line up but now ive decided to cut cost on a few replaceable components.

I want to get the EVGA/ASUS 8800 GT, however I cant find the 700mhz core speed version in stock anywhere in the UK.

EVGA:

ASUS:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-143-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1008

Both are pre-order, however I have found some one ebay! Does anyone know where I can get one new, or when they should be available?

Many thanks

Here's the eVGA version - again on pre-order only but cheaper than overclockers

Because Id rather buy a pre-overclocked one so that I know that the chip should be of better quality, and so should the ram, allowing me to overclock it that tad bit more.

Thanks for the link, I might give them a call later, and see if they know anything about the shipments. Im planning to do 'the order' on Thursday, be good if I could get the card sorted by then.
