Bro, you can refer zhen^wei for the Silverstone ST50F since he sell at RM250 and postage is around RM10++. Refer here http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/821330
I prefer Corsair since it provide 5 years warranty and powerfully single +12v rail.    If you not enough budget, can consider Vantec ION2+ which pre-sleeved in blue can refer here http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=783866
I give you the link for reference and price info only since knowing u prefer buy on the spot. Maybe you can try Cex since he have a shop at Serdang there, my 4850GS also buy at there. http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=754350

Guys...i need a serious help....i bought HD4850 Gainward....but...i encounter black scrn problem ONLY ON Directx10 game...it works perfectly fine for directx9 games....I have already return the card once...and this is the second time i encounter tis black scrn problem...hope someone really help me out here....pretty upset for tis gainward card i bought ...

thx scanart. now still need to use PC so still cannot send the card for RMA.
and finally vantage got through in Performance bench
is this score normal for a E8600 core 2 duo with 4gb ram and 4870 512mb?

guys, am considering the 4850 GS 512MB, does it still have problem like black outs?
how to determine if its 1st batch or not?
look @ the heatpipe? if its silver means? gold means?

but from what i can see in reviews, the two are marginally close, the difference being 1-2 fps at different resolutions

i think not

aaah... so, the plot thickens, my friend.

ok, i think we can go back and forth on this thing till the end of time, but try to be objective about this (not that i`m implying you`re a fanboy or anything), and tell me if i should bust a cap in my dealer`s knee for screwing me over with this nvidia/ati gainward thingie.
