Hardware Bargains

[hj2k_x]

Every now and then there are specials at certain places that are worth mentioning, and i thought that seeing as there is a thread like this in the Gaming section already, it would be worthwhile having one here for any bargains you guys know of.

I'll start with some cheap ones I have noticed of late

So there is a start. Let it be said that IC are generally a lot more expensive than other places and this is by no means a general endorsement of them as a store, but every now and then they have some good deals

*Note: I am not saying that these are the cheapest prices on each product but I am saying that the shops are reputable, and the prices are good. Feel free to add to/detract from the list as you see fit.

If this proves popular we can keep it updated. Could be a pretty cool resource.

Wow, those are some good prices! Is delivery free for such small items though?

I have been told that if you are in Cape Town you can collect from their premises?

[kevinswan007]

yea, I collect at the take2 depot near milnerton. very convenient.

Cool. I have edited the OP with the Axiz drives from take2.

The thing that sucks is that you have to pay postage for those Memory sticks so they aren't really R80 (unless you pick them up). Like this thread though ... can be very useful.

Ya, that is what I was thinking. Take2 works for the Cape Town peeps though

Yeah we should include a disclaimer for shipping prices where applicable.

Take2 are R30 for me.

Who knows, pity the offer ended today I'm sure it'll be back though.

My bro is in the Cape 4 days a week so maybe i should start making use of his laziness

Ya, their great offers often are for only a few days, sadly.
