Ordered my GTX 580 from scan after ordering my vertex and it came next day saturday, just checked my recipt and it was DPD, seems DPD can be as good or as bad as most others.
Also ordered a Razer mouse mat direct from Razer on the 20th and it came with DHL from holland - Gatwick - East Midlands - Lincoln in 2 days :)

That's the thing with couriers - they're all as shite as each other. Can't say I've ever had any bad experiences with DPD, don't even know if I've used them tbh.

LOL!

I was drinking pish (Carlsberg) all night and I didn't even get drunk. Stupid f'ing piss-water. The GF asked me to get it as she wanted some booze to see the new in and I was only schmuck drinking.

Women. Crap taste in lager and crap at drinking. Pfft!

I know that feeling when my 5750 died i was getting impatient but then got back from school my GTX460 in my bedroom i was really happy.

when vital component in your pc dies - its like losing your only child. I was in panic and depression for a few weeks when a faulty antec PSU decided it would eat one of my 4870s for dinner while I was in a game of MW2 - Even when the 4870 came back from RMA the first time - I could tell it wasnt 100% - it was like it had come home in a wheelchair, blind in one eye, with partial sight in the other and with the mental age of a 4y.o with a deformed face only a mother could love saying "daddy - i'm home!" It was my 4870 but in a sense it wasnt 'my' 4870 - but I relented and put it back in with its brother where it died again a few weeks later from furmark run and I submitted its corpse back for another RMA which it never came back from. it didnt hurt that much loosing it again the 2nd time round but i still panicd and tried everything to resuscitate it but it was no good and even sapphire refused to fix it a 2nd time. - I was offerd a 5770 but I didnt want it - as you cant crossfire a 5770 with a 4780 - and so I offerd to throw in some cash for my current 5850.


you know its dying or dead but its not something you want to admit right until the very last moment after you spent the last hour battling to give your graphics card mouth to mouth n resuscitate with shock paddles. then your saddened crys of pain can be heard across 5 towns and people will know something of great value was lost
