Default Gigabyte graphics card stockist

Hi,

I fancy a Gigabyte GV-R485OC-1GH; ATi 4850, core o/c 700, Zalman
cooler and 1Gb memory.

The trouble is that only scan.co.uk seems to have them and have
Googled for ages for an alternative supplier. I must have checked 30
online retailers in the past hour.

Next Choice is a standard card with a (supposedly) higher spec cooler
by Club 3D. Has anybody had any experience with this make?

All online retailers have a poor reputation for CS (except Crucial).
Crucial sell their own line of Graphics cards (well they did last time
I checked).

IMHO Scan is much improved in recent years, but I have had no faulty
parts to test out my opinion.

CCLonline and Overclock.co.uk pass muster here in the CS stakes.

I will probably buy from Scan as the card is too good a deal to pass
up - 4850 - 1Gb - Zalmann cooler - o/c core to 700 (stock 625) for
approx 130 UKP inc VAT.
