Was looking at the prices on overclockers.co.uk and some other sites the other day and have noticed the Nano is only £20 more expensive than the normal cut down Fury which to me doesn't make any sence at all, might as well pick up the Nano really the cut down fury is too expensive atm.

I may pick one up for my Mac Pro. The only thing stopping me from getting the Fury X in the past was the cooler not fitting in the Mac Pro, however the Nano fixes that issue.

Nice price cut indeed but card stills stays relevant only in Mini-ITX cases. Alot to choose from at that price range.
