Awwww man :( :( :(

You too can sing the blues : Sorry mate.

Anyway I think I have my own little personal battle going on with ebuyer....

http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/110379

The product title says : ' P4/k7/k8 Cooler '

ITS NOT A K7 COOLER GRRRRRRRRRR

There are 2 versions of the cooler 1 is the lite version (the one they sold me) and the other has the socket A retention clip GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I should have looked at the model number but since the product title said k7 cooler I thought it was the one silly me I should have known better.

I'm still awaiting a replacement for some ram i RMA'd to aria

First they kept telling me the RMA was on their old system, then they claim royal mail has lost the replacement.

Well i filled in the form royal mail sent me still not heard anything, so now i'm not sure i want to deal with aria again in a hurry, pity because they were pretty good up until then.

Same with eclipse computers had bad service from them on 2 occasions, haven't shopped with them since.

If your desk is against a wall, what about wall-mounting it?

<edit>
I mean wall-mounting the monitor. :)

I thought about getting a 22" widescreen LCD to replace my old 20" CRT, but for some weird reason LCD monitors don't seem to do 1366x768 [higher res would be too small for me, plus I run my existing 19" LCD at 1024x768], yet LCD TVs do. :confused: I did look at 22-23" LCD TVs as a possible alternative, but the price &/or power consumption put me off of the ones I could find.

I had some probs with Eclipse as well, a few years ago now, haven't used them since either.

Well tbh I still haven't been bitten by ebuyer (yet ?).

They arranged a free pickup and gave me a full refund ;)
Pretty neat of them actually.

I guess it comes down to luck the whole online buying farce.

I also moaned at memorybits for sending me a broken card reader (well it was only one plastic panel that was broken ). Think I started off the mail asking them how on earth they got affiliated with google basket - that got me a free card reader heh - so now I have " 2 " card readers that I will probably never use :)

If anyone's after an OEM system some of these Dell prices are pretty good.

ATI Radeon 4850 512mb PCI-X

PC WORLD £111.92

Excellent price if you can find one (I did but took it back)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Ermm..

I think you mean PCI-Express (or PCI-E) and not PCI-X, which is an older format:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI-X

Re: Special offer hardware
 

PCI Express 2.0

Forgive me :rolleyes:

4 gig of ddr II 800mhz for £12.99 . Just ordered a bit for budget builds. Not the fastest ram on the planet and I would not throw it at a high spec machine but for modest machines this is a steal

Re: Special offer hardware
 

£27.99 from here...
