    Do these have a PCI-E slot for latest graphics cards?

    Cheers

    Has anyone who ordered the restore backup discs for this unit from the Tech Boys actually received them yet?

    I had a HDD crash and they send me a new one, which can't be installed until the CD arrives, they told me it has been sent on the 09/05, hope it arrives by today.

    I have had problems with mine since day 1, it still runs at USB1, 1 of the ram slots doesnt work at all, so it has to be in the second when I want 2 gig of ram for my gaming, and the DVD burner doesnt recognise a lot of my store bought DVD's even some which were brand new, and some burnt dvd's which work on my old PC(now sold) and my laptop which has a crappy dvdrom drive and doesnt recognise a lot of my discs, so that says a lot.

    Being collected tommorow by DHL, im worried they will give a refund though. as I want it fixed or at least a partial refund.

    My System Recovery disc arrived yesterday,

    Not had a need for it but figure better safe than sorry!.

    PC is running great, daughter is over the moon, only issue we had was that her old webcam was not Vista compatible, so had to cough up £15 for a new one from Tesco! (Creative Vista IM)

    all works and happy as larry!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Just an update from me, I got a few confusing emails 6 days ago, 1st was a order email with the details of a new order the same as old one, but saying £0.00 then another saying I was getting a refund, and another saying my order was passed for dispatch, then another today from warehouse saying they havent got new stock in yet, and it may take 5-6 days but it will be sent!

    Finally got my system recovery disc today (it's only been 6 weeks!)
    It appears to be an Advent Specific DVD disc and only for the 9308 model, NOT a generic Vista Premium disc, still, at least it gives peace of mind if HD goes (and i wouldn't be surprised as recently my HD discs in various electronic goods have been failing, all of which seem to be Maxtor HD's eg in my Sky+, Freeview PVR, etc)
