WTF are you dumping on those poor drives demmit!?!?!

I would have thought building a media center was space hungry...

But building a full virtualised test environment chews through space like you wouldn't believe

I've already had to trim things and cut back on what I have available to test with...

 

[Shake&Bake]

Eish! Sjoe sjoe!

 

[ToxicBunny]

Dunno...I paid R650 for my last 1TB Sammie from them

 

[dudleygb]

Dunno...I paid R650 for my last 1TB Sammie from them

so 999 for a 1.5TB is pretty much the same R/GB as paying 650 for 1TB...cool

 

[TheBadMadMan]

At nivo.co.za shiping price kills the deal on that hdd special imo

Have you seen the ads on the 1st and 2nd page (page 2 and 3 - just inside cover) of the TechSmart magazine issue of September 2009:

• 1Tb Seagate External drives (with 3 year warranty) R899 (incl)
• GeForce 9600GT DDR3 1Gb R1029 (incl).
• Samsung 22x SATA DVD Writer R189 (incl)

Seems to be very cheap! Full 2 page advertisement in mag with lots of other goodies as well.

"Vision Technologies" - see here http://www.techsmart.co.za/magazine/issue_72/home.html to get magazine online

Anybody tried them? Service, etc? One thing I see is that they are not online and don't have a website and their e-mail address is a @lantic address..not very professional for an IT supplier in my books...but perhaps my perception is wrong! The prices seem to be very good in most cases!

I only saw the ad this afternoon when I picked up the fairly 'old' version of the TechSmart mag (free).

Samsung T260 for R2999 @ Incredible Connection! Seems to be the cheapest price I could find. Not sure if the price is countrywide but it's definitely in Durban...

 

[venom]

Yep and thats R600 off the price it was a week ago. Still that's the old T260s. New ones have a built in tv card which is pretty sweet.
