grrrrrrr I'm looking at RAM prices and have noticed them drop further. I paid 90 for some OCZ platinum only a few days back (which is crap anyway not recommended by me) and they are like 75 on overclockers now.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

thing is where is it gonna end? I dunno if my memory is failing me but I aint been this excited about ram prices since I first got 512 meg of ddr400 for 40 quid and thought wow cheap but 2 gig of good stuff for 70 quid and no reason for it to stop falling yet

Re: Special offer hardware

Re: Special offer hardware
 

22" monitor cheap as chips - Linkage

I've got one of these and it's very good - no ghosting in games and loads of desktop real estate....

Negatives are - only has VGA connection, and colour balance is not spot on - although you'd have to be a pro designer type person to notice... as a chuffing huge screen it's great! :)

oh yeah, get £10 off if you use google checkout too...

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Nice... shame I've just bought a 19" one today. Think 22" might be too big for my desk anyway - see size is important after all ;)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

If you want a 22" monitor, fast response time, excellent contrast, you can't do much better than this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=MO-045-LG Reduced price till Thursday ;)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Okay, but it is computer related!

http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/GPS,+Inte...?sku=AV1570528

Garmin C330 satnav for £123.38 including delivery and VAT. Very up-to-date maps are available for free download too. Available until stocks exhausted.

Edit:

I forgot to mention that, as a by product of upgrading the mapping in the C330, you also end up with a free copy of Garmin's MapSource software to run on a PC. This gives you access to the same mapping and routing algorithms on your PC. It can also download tracks from other Garmin devices (like my Foretrex ;) )that support this feature and display them on the map. Recommended.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Nice find, altis :)

On a similar note, if you're after a cheap TomTom, you can get an "open boxed" TomTom One for £109 from here

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Ordered :D thx Rob!

Acer Turon64 @ 2ghz laptop with 512mb ram, wi-fi dvd-rw 60gb hdd. Vista home basic.

Lenovo 3000 C200 8922 - Celeron M 430 1.73 GHz - 15" TFT

wi-fi, dvd writer, 512mb ram 80gb hdd, vista home basic

Ebuyer quickfind code: 125870

£300 (£290 with google checkout offer)

Apart from the fact they could use a bit more ram for vista those seem a fairly good spec for the money, and some fairly decent brands to.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

They are good cheap laptops but I would treat them as without operating system cuz home basic is a waste of time.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Cancelled and re-ordered from here - £17 cheaper and OCUK wouldn't pricematch.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Core 2 Duo 6600 2.4 for £123 inc VAT Linkage

paid more than that for my 6400!

Re: Special offer hardware
 

£133 quid inc vat ;) take it you took google checkout off but then you need to add delivery :)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

aye took the google tenner off but ignored delivery as tbh it's pretty much always a tenner from wherever you order... give or take a couple of squid :)

and before anyone says 'Ebuyer does cheap supersaver deliveries' well yep thats true, BUT the last Hard drive i ordered shipped on supersaver and turned up in a jiffy bag - with pretty much all the bubble wrap popped... :Yikes:

EDIT - although that Belinea 22" monitor in my previous post is now £160 including Vat and has free Supersaver delivery - wouldn't think they could use a jiffy bag for it so should be OK!

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Bad news guys apparently google checkouts £10 offer ends Sunday so get ordering http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/....html?t=464858

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Cheers for the update mate :tu:

Re: Special offer hardware
 

depends on what you want to use it for, true its lacking in vista features but if you just want it to run your windows programs and don't care about all the whistles and bells it runs fine.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Is this true ?

I have a few hundred in my cart can I split it into a few baskets ? register a couple of so gmail accounts and then use different credit cards ?

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Well its just a link it could be wrong god knows. I split orders and set deivery over 2 different days and they sent em both first day and got 2 discounts :)


Couple of other places are saying midnight tonight

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Thanks Zing : Reps in arrears as usual soz mate :rolleyes:

I'm going to give this a try now.

Cheers,

Re: Special offer hardware
 

aria ebuyer and svp all still have the £10 off on the site so looks like my link was incorrect. Keep an eye on it though sorry if I forced anyone to part with there cash :)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

LOLz money well spent.

Google checkout gets the :tu: from me.

Lets get back OT now ;)

Was very tempted by ebuyers free delivery on plasmas but they dont stock any decent ones.... If anyone knows of a supplier offering free delivery on plasmas/LCD TVs then let us know :)

(delivery on such items is kinda costly @ 50-100 quid a pop)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Ok the advertising for the 10 quid off has gone off aria and ebuyer still showing on svp however if you select google checkout you still get the tenner off so dont expect it to last much longer

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Morrisons have low energy light bulbs for 39p at the moment.

Bargain!

Re: Special offer hardware
 

I believe some councils give them away free to the poor n needy ? dunno - :shrug:

Somehow my wife has a whole stash of them but I find them ugly and it kinda says something about you when have guests round for wine and cheese :rolleyes:

3 quid for a pair of 1 foot cathodes including inverter !

I bought these earlier this week and thought I'd give them a try and wow they are lovely :)

What I am going to do with them is slap them under my desk or around the back they look lively with my dulux indian white paint on the walls ;)

EDIT : Even comes with an on off switch ;)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

I bought a set and it was broken intransit and as ive posted eleswhere they wouldnt offer me a replacement without return as I didnt want to waste my time over 3 quid.What with all the other problems ive posted about with them the last couple of months Ive now totally fell out with ebuyer

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Awwwwwwwwwwwww sorry to hear that mate.

But if its any consolation they ARE lovely :p I'll be thinking of you everytime I switch them on ;)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

it was for my daughter.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

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.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

See ebuyer bad ;)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

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.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

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

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

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.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

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 :)

Re: Special offer hardware

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:

Re: Special offer hardware

Re: Special offer hardware
 

well they accepted my order dunno if they will send it me for that cost but I got confirmation I believe that means I have a contract

Edit small print says no contract so I guess I wont be getting it. Mind you the gits have charged my CC by a quid

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Play don;t send out orders with wrong price :(

They'll cancel the order for you and email you the correct price if you want to order again.

Re: Special offer hardware

Thoughts on this please ;)

Re: Special offer hardware
 

Not bad Scan.co.uk have that monitor for £158 so they are over charging for it when it's not on sale, but still its cheaper than scan.

And at Overclockers

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=1120&subcat=

Bit more money but for a bigger screen not bad really.

Re: Special offer hardware
 

No hdmi on that one you linked to
