Hardware Bargains

Because nobody wants to plug their phone into their laptop. And it's much easier to setup the dongle too.

And an extra advantage: because all the current models also allow a MicroSD card, there's no need to carry an extra flash drive.

Anyone know of places selling cheap 500GB+ external HDDs in and around the cpt area?

2.5" or 3.5"?
I picked up a Samsung EcoGreen 500GB 2.5" for R352 at Prophecy. Add another R100 or so for an enclosure

That's a 3.5" by the way.

Oops sorry, typo. Meant 3.5"

 

[Synaesthesia]

Can you get a 3.5" enclosure for R100? Thought they were like R250-350.

Yes you can, this is out of stock but I don't have time to Google all over right now:

Just got an e-mail from MemoryC offering an 8% discount on their non-sale items. I haven't bothered to look as I've already bought my computer stuff for the year (any further retail therapy purchases for the rest of the year will now be limited to Lego) but here's the code for anyone who is interested: LMW910 (details on http://www.memoryc.com/pages/discount0910.html)

Blocked here at work for some weird reason... is this the proper 7200RPM drive or the green/crap drive?

The crap LP drive lol For the barracuda XT(7200rpm) you're looking at almost double that!
Funnily enough the cheapest I can find is at take2 and no I don't work or am not in anyway associated with them!!
