It's the wrong section.

Oops . Uhm... let me go find the correct section.

Hello, I have an Asus Radeon HD7850 1GB GDDR5 graphics card. It is a pretty decent card, unfortunately I cannot use it as a GPU processor for molecular dynamics using the Gromacs package. So I would like to sell and get hold of an Nvidia card with a good Kepler core that can do the job.

Are you sure you can't use it for Gromacs? Folding at Home uses Gromacs and the Ati cards generally fair better than Kepler.

I also thought I could until I read this (to my disdain ):
http://gromacs.5086.x6.nabble.com/Does-GPU-support-ATI-card-td5003362.html

and this:

I need the GPU for non-bonded force calculations. Hopefully the 660ti Kepler core that I got today can do the trick .

WD 2TB Green for R847 + VAT (they accept credit cards too) from CSS in JHB/Midrand, only for 48 hours - not a bad price

 

[Aharon]

It's a good price and css provide phenomenal service. I think there might be a 5% surcharge for credit cards.

hmmm makes it R965 , does not sound so cheap when vat comes into play

Pretty sure that's illegal......

I know a lot of places that do it. Is it illegal? :wtf:

Not illegal at all, but rather unlawful in a sense that the merchant has an agreement with VISA et al that they will not penalize anyone presenting their card for payment compared to a 'normal' cash payment.

Apologies, was sure it was illegal.... but this post clears it up: http://mybroadband.co.za/vb/showthread.php/34799-Isn-t-this-illegal?p=401274&viewfull=1#post401274

Same place everyone gets cheap externals from - Makro and Game. Watch the specials and wait for another HDD one. Bought my 3TB WD external at Game for R999.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

makro is still R1050 for a 2tb i believe

And don't forget Incredible Connection. Their weekend specials (in store) and their "web only" online deals are the only reason I ever buy anything from them. Bought my last Seagate 3TB 3.5" external November 2012 for R1300. And a Toshiba 2TB 2.5" for R1318 (less 15% discovery card discount = R1120) a few weeks ago.

I feel like designing a container ideal for external HDD's Then you can turn them on/off individually and hook them all up to a central USB hub.
