Both of which have confirmed my gut feeling of going for the HD3850. Along with the excellent looking movie grabs on YouTube of course (Man, Oblivion looks yummy on a 3850).

So, one question remains. 512Mb or 256Mb? The price difference is but £10 so it seems daft not to but I doubt my monitors are capable of very very high resolutions (They're Diamond AL181 18.1", but I've not been able to find the specs online to confirm the highest resolution) so it might be a bit of a waste.

Finally, I see Willie Randolph got the push. Any views on that?

For an extra tenner the 512mb is the better buy.

You should get 1280x1024 from that 18.1" monitor.


Willie Randolph...baseball? Haha what do us Scots know about baseball.

Plenty! I've played baseball with at least three Scots, one of whom is the current catcher for my team.

Well, when his knees aren't playing up...

Can you get adapters for the IDE style power connectors to connect to SATA power sockets?

A curse on HP and their non-standard PSU size
I thought I'd go ahead with the 'wrong' PSU and get a Molex to SATA adapter later but what do I find? Bog standard PSUs are not as high as the HP PSU and have holes in the different place.

So, the new PSU won't damn well fit!

FFS.

I thought it might be that HP want us to buy their replacement, more powerful, PSUs but I'm blowed if I can find any such replacements on the HP site.

As for the 5.25 bay PSUs suggested by Stang, they don't seem to exist in the UK!

I can't believe how hard this has become.

Looks like I'll be swapping the parts over to the old case or buying a new case over the weekend...
