Quadro my quadro, wherefore art thou quadro?

[nath]

Yes yes, I know that's not what wherefore means, but I'm looking for a quadro.

I'm trying to get hold of an FX570 and finding it quite difficult to find a decent supplier. Ebuyer only has an HP one which has a warranty only if you use in an HP machine. The only two places I've found it are Scan and PCWorld at about 160 quid - but the HP equiv is 120. Anyone know of any other sites I could get this from?

Retailers I've tried:

Amazon, Aria, Overclockers, SVP, Dabs, Maplin.

Any other suggestions welcome .

Thanks for checking razeredge, but that's an HP one too. I expect it'll have the same restrictions as the one I bought and now have to return - suggested for use in an HP machine and warranty void if you don't.

Now that's odd - 83 quid from MicroWarehouse, that seems almost too good to be true. The best prices I found elsewhere were about double that. Gunna have to check it out but if that's all legit then that's a fantastic deal.

edit: ah they're used. Hmm, might be OK - I'll check it out a bit more. Thanks for the links.

the 2nd link i gave show pc world business at a similar price, so could be a business price, never used them myself though so couldnt tell you

 

[nath]

Yeah, but the PC World business link was second hand too.

Seems NVidia only recommend scan though, who are the £160 mark again.
