He kept it all within his clothing (thankfully) there was even very little movement!

X1800 is kind of working. I think ther power connector has a loose connector in it.

Didn't have much time to try and fix it, was too busy trying to get Dell to send us the right kit.

Will have a play tonight to see fi I can see the problem.

[OT] Funny that, Dell sent my work colleague the wrong graphics card this week, and that was in the states, so maybe there's more to it than an individual case. [/OT]

They're chuffing useless. We're buying the rest of out kit from elsewhere now.

Ordered 12 workstations and a server.
10 workstations of a low spec
1 of a medium spec
1 of a high spec *MINE!*
1 cheap server for testing
TFT's for all - 10x19" 4x24"


We get:
12 workstations of varing spec, no 2 are the same. None are the spec we ordered either.
Oh, and 2 servers... *both better than what we ordered*
TFT screens are mostly incorrect as well. We did get the correct number of 24" screens though.
Speakers haven't turned up at all.

I was meant to spend the week configuring and installing these.

It's a bloody shambles. Unless you're orderign a certain spec machine that they have on their site with no changes...forget it. Go elsewhere.

Only plus side is, the machine that was intended to be mine is a higher spec than was ordered. Mmmm..8 core xeon and 8gb goodness.

They're for the company. I want to keep mine though. It's sooooo quick.

Anyhoo... went over the card with a jewellers eyepiece *i'm serious there* to see if there was any loose connections or cut traces and I can't see anything.

Will give it another go at work tomorrow, but I suspect that it's deadding itself.
