    For a company that isn't getting into the case market, that actually looks like quite a slick case. A bit big for my tastes, however.

    Oh what I wouldn't give to convert my rep into real money. I'm a bit broke, you know. :(

    Funny that, I used the step up program when I went from the 7950 GX2 to an 8800GTX, Had to send it to Germany, but still.

    I'm in the middle of a "warranty battle" with EVGA America at the moment, so I'll reserve comment on this for now. I may be able to post a thread with details sometime in the next week, but for now I'll keep it quiet because I know some EVGA mods have already been here checking my profile :rolleyes:

    The EVGA stepup programme has been available but singularly unnattractive to european customers for quite some time now. I looked at it when I bought my EVGA GTX260 216 OCC & was mortified to discover that according to their valuation I could buy a brand new card from Scan for much the same price as they would allow me to upgrade for. I emailed them about this, querying the price disparity & pointing out that in essence I'd be giving them my card for free. Mr Tismer responded directly to me with this quote :

    "What would you consider "trade in" means? "

    lol thats ridiculous. Should be cost difference + 25% or so for additional costs.

    In America, their virtual dollars are called EVGA bucks, so im going to assume your getting EVGA bucks too.

    hey Shannon, will this offer translate over to America? I am probably going to step-up to the GTX480 but would love to have the high-airflow bracket and vented backplate. Of course if not free ill be ordering them when available anyways.

    After just buying 2 EVGA 470's from Scan.
    I feel its about time they attacked the UK market.
    Very good setup in US by the looks of it.

    Free?

    For non EVGA customers too...? Sounds like EVGA is pumping money in PR.

    I wish EVGA, or Gigabyte, would release a new AMD SLi board.
