All the hits I got on googling 9800xxl were mainly German - none at all in the UK ?

Might be worth mentioning, in the same leaflet, on sale the same day, a 17" TFT monitor for £269.99 .
Yeah, it does look quite good

LOL, all I've found are German links too.

Using "translate" in Google wasn't a lot of help. I might try & do an advanced Google search for just English language sites.

Yep, the TFT monitor sounds pretty good. I could do with a new monitor too, but I think I'll have a look around first.

One thing I'm not sure about with TFT monitors is stuff like pixel burn & dead pixels...

Cool. Good to know their reliability & support etc is good

Yeah, I've read that too. V good

It would be pretty bloody annoying to queue up & then not get one as they've sold out!
