Yeah they do, which is nice some of the small cases don't have that luxury. But depending on the size of the mobo depends whether you can fit a double height gpu, though that is the same with all of them really I guess.

[Psychosplodge]

Not really. As even if the slot is at the very bottom of the mobo, it just overhangs space rather than pcb. It'll still line up with the rear sockets.

[Wolfshade]

Some of the earlier multiple pci-e boards were single spaced so if you had a double depth card you could only fit one, that's what I meant.

[Psychosplodge]

It just covers a port is all. How many pci slots were you planning on using anyway?

[Mr Mystery]

Just had a wee chat with Amazon about my missing game.

Advised to give it another day, as sometimes things go a bit wrong (managing expectations). If no sign by tomorrow, they'll send out a replacement (agreement), and extended my Prime membership by a month (compensation).

All within about 1 minute of raising the issue.

And the High Street wonders why online is slaughtering it?

We were discussing this earlier, well amazon. I made the following point:

Amazon is so large that they can afford not to quibble on customer complaints, after all if they have issues with as many as 1 in 1000 transactions then it is very small rate, so it is easier just to pay out/sort out pdq rather than have a bad press incident, which could cost them more than 1 sale.

[Mr Mystery]

True.

But it's the way they went about this particular chat. Really professional, and asked if I was happy with the options given, rather than 'like it or lump it'.

Good customer service means an awful lot to me as a consumer!

[Psychosplodge]

Are they still charging you £1.50 a minute to chat to them?

[Mr Mystery]

Nah this was online.
