Default Anyone know of anywhere that stocks the 8500?

I have a modest system (my main one is in for repair) that has a crappy GF4
MX400 and it's giving me a headache. So, I thought I'd replace it with a
Radeon 8500, as I had one in a system a while back that I'd still be using
now had it not been taken out in a power surge. But I cannot find them for
love nor money (I'm in the UK) - I found one at OCUK, but it was...wait for
it....£150!!

As this is an occasionally used system, I don't want to spend too much on
it, but I will be without my main system for at least six weeks, and I need
to use this one, but I can't for long periods as it is.

Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced card (if I can't find an 8500) that
will comfortably manage 1600x1200@85Hz on a 19 or 21"? I cannot justify
spending more than about £50.

I have found a couple of 8500s on eBay, but I've always been wary about
buying hardware that way - I prefer to purchase it new, that way I've some
comeback.

Thanks
