Hardware Bargains

[Pada]

@hugo69er:
That isn't really a bargain. You can get an Adata 16GB USB2 flash drive for slightly less: http://www.prophecy.co.za/adata-c008-16gb-black-flash-drive-p-91355.html#!tab2

You should be able to format ANY flash drive to NTFS using Windows 7 or a Linux disk with GParted.

The old e-Ink vs LCD debate. Though a good price, I'd stick with Kindle.

Looks like another Realtek RTD1055 player similar to the Asus O!Play Mini or the AC Ryan PlayOn HD Essential. It should be able to play most formats including BluRay iso files.

I assume you need to buy the HDD separately.

You can also get it here for about R10 more.

I would think that using an external hard drive could have advantages in that you can copy files to and from a USB 3 external drives at three times the speed of an internal SATA drive if the media player only supports USB 2 speeds.

Picked up one of these today - very impressed! There is also a Lenovo for the same price (1Gb less RAM and only a 250Gb HDD).

Hey guys, I'm struggling to find an actual 'bargain' for a 22"/23" monitor. Hoping to get a new one at around the R1300 mark. Any ideas?
