Hey guys,

Looking towards getting some help in finding a few shops, I havn't lived in SL for very long, so I pretty much don't know where to go.

So anyways getting to the point,

Where can I buy an 8600 or an 8800 graphics card in Colombo? And what will be the price?

Looking forward to replies.
Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

You got a name of a particular shop in mind please?

From what I've seen, many in Unity have no idea about the 8 series.

Looking towards getting an 8800GT atm, the price seems resonable enough, but it would be great if you could guide me to a shop.

lol, I've mostly been on the 1st floor. I'll give the 2nd floor a shot this week and thanks for the name.

Also, do you know how much a 600Wat PSU would cost me?

Well I got a 450W (two actually) atm but the +12v rails aren't good enough for an 8800GT, so unforutnaly i'll need a new PSU too :P.

BTW...by any chance you may be knowing about the 8600GT?

Thanks for the quick replies once again... XD

8600GT isnt very popular......This is SL.....they have only the very cheap n the very expensive products....something in between is very hard to find.....
But if i had to guess a XFX 8600GT will be about 25 or 24 k.......

You cant buy a Good 600W PS for 5000.A good PS has to have at least 2 pci-e power cables and a 8 pin Power cable.

Yeah i waz talking about a real 500 watt PSU....not the one with normal power plugs....one with a lot of 12v 4pin outlets.......and Sata power sockets.....

Yeah ill need those but if the +12V rail is above 21A then it should be fine since thats the min, my PSU can run it but don't wanna risk an expensive GPU on a cheap ass PSU.

Silverstone is trusty, didn't know SL had it. Might get that one then. All in Unity aye? Coz i've always been thinking that there were some "hidden" shops :P.
