    RAM prices are ridiculous

    They're feeling it thanks to shipping costs. If your order has 2k kits of RAM, that's an additional 2k very small items to split the shipping costs. Picture this (hypothetical numbers): A 20HQ/half a 40HQ container can fit 400 Corsair cases and costs R 130k of which R 50k is sea cargo (you'll...

    Major retailers in South Africa report that memory prices have increased by as much as 250% in three months

    The funny thing is everyone thought CXMT would be our saviour, but their contract prices are now higher than the big 3.

    Haha, that’s not my new builder, that’s my new BUILDER.

    New The PC Build Thread

    Just a tease update... The orange text is not final, I just wanted a contrasty colour and went with the same colour I'd used for the reset button

    Rectron network offline for days and won't say if it was caused by a cyberattack

    Nope, and I doubt they ever will to anyone who wasn't directly affected (eg personal details leaked - IF that happened - and even then, details kept to a minimum). Even rather high-ups are in the dark.

    We bought the 1kg ‘Avozilla’ from Woolworths – this is how big it really is

    Americans use metric whether they like it or not. For around 70 years, the inch has been defined as being 2.54mm (rather than defined as something else which equates to 2.54mm).

    Returning my Takealot order - An awesome experience

    Because you were sitting on it. Stand up, and the crack returns to your pants.

    Rectron struck by cyberattack

    Unfortunately I can see customs having a field day with you. Those quantities you're wanting look like something purchased for resale, not personal belongings. Additionally, it greatly exceeds the value limit you're allowed to import before they ask for your importer registration. I'm pretty...

    Rectron struck by cyberattack

    You won't, partially because they don't sell half of your list :P But no, as a consumer they won't deal with you. They're quite renowned for closing accounts that don't meet the monthly order requirements, and that leaves you in a pickle if anything is ever returned under warranty and credited...

    What is your favourite airport in South Africa?

    There's no such thing as a favourite airport. They all suck.

    Do you think you could pass a driver's licence test without any preparation?

    My wife does this. She's also clutch the floor as soon as she touches the brakes, because "otherwise the car will stall." I've shown her by letting it coast in gear with my foot on the brakes that I can bounce the needle off 0RPM without stalling, but she still doesn't get it and thinks she'll...

    “Willing Seller, Willing Buyer”: R9m Sea Point Fixer-Upper Finds Buyer Despite Online Mockery

    Yes, but I knew the pool as standing empty. I think most/all of it was demolished and rebuilt not long thereafter, but we'd moved from Obs to Diep River.
