    Default Which one?

    Out of these two. They're both ATI HD 3870's.

    And

    http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=708677

    They both looks exactly the same to be, except in different casing. I think the first one is better due to the how its all laid out; not in the case and with what looks to be a better fan.

    What you think?

    According to the Theory of War, which teaches that the best way to avoid the inconvenience of war is to pursue it away from your own country, it is more sensible for us to fight our notorious enemy in his own realm, with the joint power of our allies, than it is to wait for him at our own doors.

    the first ones technically got a better cooler but the second one exhausts the air out of the pc . So the choice is either , cooler gpu or cooler overall enviroment in the pc.

    I would say the first one but it looks like there are supply issues. Good choice BTW.

    I've chosen the first one. Thanks for the replies!.

    Soon as I've paid off my debt I hope to buy another and crossfire them.

    Actually that card doesn't exist. 8800 series are made by Nvidia not ATI. The current leader is still the 8800 Ultra, although the newer 8800 GT/GTS can compete with it in some benchmarks.
