Ew!!! Novatech with there 28 day RMA policy and lack of after sales
service.  I definitely won't be using them again, even after XFX had
confirmed that my 7600GT card was faulty I am still waiting for the card to
be replaced. I also said that it was on my machine that I use strictly for
work and still there was no offer of a direct replacement.  They have to
have the worst RMA policy ever.

I now use overclockers.co.uk and they are superb.
