That's not exactly what you said. You implied that any non technical person would know it is 1/10 of the price and then have to wait for a refund when they then start doing their homework and discover raru use people as a bank.

Totally different going open eyes into the deal like us.

Never mentioned non technical person. The premise of this discussion is the thread title plus it being on MyBroadband, doubt there are many non technical people.

So you assuming anyone that search the raru site and found the deal is technical oriented? All we saying is we should get the same treatment as far as customer service than any non technical person, as raru cannot distinguish between different customers.

I was having a go at Saba. He is a technical person who knows the product is at 1/10 of the price, knows full well it's a mistake, but is taking them for a ride and expects prince treatment after that.

Of course they should treat all customers the same.

I hear you but technically he should expect "prince treatment" as they cannot distinguish him from another customer.

Any case enough derailment.

Treat all customers the same? Yet I must be treated differently?

Your points are quite frankly pointless.

Any case what differentiates @enerdude ?
 
We know they wont deliver but testing their consistent "mistakes".

Unethical business but instead of speculating we testing them.

Any case you now on ignore troll list

I saw the 3.84TB version on PCLinkshop for around R10k, which is how I came to the thumbsuck value of R7k for this one.
Click to expand...
Ah, yeah though PCLink sometimes may not be the best place to check, I'd say it's about 10k because we got some smaller Enterprise grade SSDs in about a year ago and they were about 10k then.

$39.99 for the 12+512GB? You know what they say about something being too good to be true...
 
Looking for a 4K monitor, pref 144hz but not a deal breaker. Vesa mountable.

They were pretty scarce, but recently I've seen a couple of reviews on Hardware Unboxed. I think a new panel came out recently and a bunch of manufacturers are in the process of using it.

Otherwise, I would always recommend the Dell U2718Q, the successor to my P2715Q.

Edit: 27" is a bit small for 4K imo. 28" will be slightly better and probably good enough for me, however I think 32" is the sweet spot for 4K.

Yeah also ordered, did not expect to get it but wanted to hear their excuses. Going to hammer them each day for the fun to hear their poor excuses. If they refund me in the next month or so - well I checked out using payflex which allows me to pay over 6 weeks lol. I will post updates here on communication from them, do same if you can and keep us up to date. ;)

That is clever, paying with Payflex.
Will keep that in mind for future Raru purchases.
