Never heard of them, but having just visited their homepage I'd be wary
of using them when on it they claim

"RADEON 9700 PRO is the world's fastest and most advanced graphics
board"

That statement is about as up to date as a Trident video card. I realise
that they are in the business of marketing obsolete stuff, but I would
suggest that they shouldn't use claims made when the items were new
without pointing that fact out.

A hardware forum. Why do you ask?

I agree, but just assume they haven't got round to updating the
description. And that was exactly what I was wanting to buy..

I bought a graphics card from them, had a couple of problems but they
sorted it out quickly and efficiently - I'd use them again.

I bought some Socket 370 motherboards from them early last year, they were
very good and bent over backwards to get them to me when I missed their
first Citylink delivery. I'd use them again for definite.

Heh I just bought a Radeon 9700 Pro off eBay USA from retek lol for $ 210
they ship internationally its the same company as the one based in
scotland - I just checked they`re website they are out of stock of the
Radeon 9700 Pro in the UK.

The USA devision is auctioning off a load of Radeon 9700 Pro on the US ebay
site atm with 1 other on BIN - I wish I`d seen the UK site before £ 124.99 +
£ 6.00 for City Link although City Link don`t deliver to UK Offshore - $ 210
is approx £ 120 + £ 20 Intl shipping I reckon.

Don't forget to add about 23% to 27% for import duty/Vat and courier
handling charge
