I can't find then in SA tho

kyle2020 · May 3, 2009

You can get the NEO in SA.

h3llb3nd4 · May 3, 2009

Link?

kyle2020 · May 3, 2009

I dont have one, but another member on here from SA was wanting to buy mine when I was selling my 8800GT - he then found an etailer that sells them. Cant remember his name though :banghead:

h3llb3nd4 · May 3, 2009

that's fine, we just need to look hard enough

Kweku · May 3, 2009

can find anything myself, but will keep looking.

h3llb3nd4 · May 3, 2009

did you try Jump.co.za?

Kweku · May 3, 2009

nah, don't see it.

The Akasa Neo isn't available in SA. Only from the states from somewhere like http://www.sidewindercomputers.com/

The AC Accelero twin turbo is available locally at R450, but I don't have the shop's link on me at work. I'll post it when I get home.

Both the Zalman VF-900 and Thermalright V1 Ultra will do the Job. Having used both, I personally would look at the Thermalright with a good fan like a Zalman.

EDIT: I got confused with the V1 and the V2. I have the V2, and it's awesome. But in your price range the V1 should be ok on that card with a 80mm fan.

Or : http://www.sybaritic.co.za/store/product_info.php?cPath=72_249&products_id=15205 Just don't forget ram heatsinks. The Zalmans are the best I've found locally.

you can buy a 4670 used for 60 bucks here. that is the hell of a card for the price and you can feed it with a powered hamster farm :laugh:

Problem is, shipping to South Africa ups the price considerably. Nice cards for the price though.

Here's the link for the CA twin turbo I promised..

i checked the cooler, but it don't fit on the HD4670, well its not on the list, will enquirer about it though.
And yeah, sometimes shiping is way more expensive than buying it here, will rather stick to local stores

BradleyKZN · May 4, 2009

Lol i seem to have missed out on alot! Thats a better system then what you wanted before!

Kweku · May 4, 2009

yeah, it sure is and also way cheaper

mudkip · May 4, 2009

Ehm here's a suggestion:

Buy a HD 4770 they're only like 10-20 bucks more expensive than a HD4670 but the HD 4770 has 640 SP's and is build on 40nm , which means less heat and a higher overclock potential. also the HD 4770 matches the HD4850!

unfortunately that is not the case in our country, case in point is the 4850 is cheaper than a 4830, but i dont think the 4770 is even in this country! The 4670 is best bet, seeing as he isn't going to be OCing too much anyway, or gaming alot for that matter.

Kweku · May 4, 2009

yeah, ima only play one game which is call of duty 5, thats all i want to be able to play and all i will play, seein it runs fine on my current rig, should be better on this coming build.
