Out of principle I knew I could have done that but I didnt see why I should pay to fix it when it was about 6 months old, I'd rather have a good old strop in the shop first and get a new replacement!

Not brand new, but it was sealed in a bag...as far as they know I dont have a spare card you see...I thought it'd get them moving a bit faster!
So they gave me one to use for now and I take it back to them when my replacement card come in. This isnt an ordinary pc shop, its a kinda buy the parts from them and they put it together if you ask. So they arn't as fussy, i cant imagine pc world giving out spare grapics cards to hand back after the works done!
What i linked to was the
one they gave me, were as this
one is mine that the fan broke on and they are going to send off for a replacement.
