UK X51 People: Where on earth did you get the R1 to R2 Powerboard upgrade from?
Hello all.
I am one of the million, sadly lumbered with the R1 X51 and watering at the mouth at the prospect of upgrading from the GTX 660 to the GTX 970.
I have however, hit a stumbling block. Whilst I know that I need a D85RT 'daughterboard', i'll be damned if I can find one at less than around £150 (!). Seemingly, our more fortunate American cousins are paying the equivalent of around £40, a whole lot cheaper than I can find in either the UK or anywhere in Europe.
Am I right in saying that Dell won't sell these parts directly?
So, fellow UK people, where can I find a D85RT at a price that won't make my wallet cry?

Hi,
I had exactly the same issue.
It all depends what you mean by "wallet cry". I've paid £108 to get one from Germany, including delivery.
It arrived in 5 working days which was much quicker than anywhere else i could find.
The link is below.

You mean this: http://www.computer-spare-parts.info/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/333.
I'm confused. Are you in the UK now or something?
