dinkd said:
ah good point... i never noticed that was the only difference.... the one thing that is leaning me toward the P5Q instead of the P5N-D is that the P5Q has 6 x SATA 2 where has the P5N-D has only 4? and well you never can have enough hard drives? ;)

Yip. And the P5N-D is more intended for Nvidia graphics cards.

How do ATi cards run on Nvidia chipsets, guys?
 
i see pc international are open today... i have mailed through what i am looking for and they will confirm pricing and stock... then maybe i just collect it today :)
 
sweet :) will do! i think i will go with the P5Q instead of the deluxe :) thank for your help on that one!

Good luck with that, I've been waiting now for about a year and a half for a reply to my email :sick:

I had that problem with Prophecy once.... when they did not reply I simply went somewhere else. You snooze, you lose.
 
hmmm ok let me get on the phone to them and see :) thanks for all your help guys! will let you know the outcome!
 
Yes, emailing PCint is an exercise in futility. Rather phone them.
 
well i just got back... all the parts collected.. the prices had already gone up slightly. The most annoying part tho.. is i just opened the case... it looks like it was a returned one.. its missing the rear fan... and the screws that hold the one side panel are missing.. so i think they will be getting it returned to them on monday... otherwise.. everything else looks good :)

Now that's pretty disgusting. :eek:

Glad you're happy with the rest of the parts though.

Mind giving us/me a run down of the price you paid for each part? :)
 
eish, return the whole thing, demand your money back and go buy somewhere else ..... if the case looks like a used one, what's to say that something else inside isn't used? That is fsckin shocking and disgusting on their part. A massive -1 for them :mad:

Amazing prices. I really do wonder how they sell for so cheap. Maybe their income is based on VAT claims LOL.

Good luck with the assembly. :D
 
lol well the possible second hand case could be trhe reason they so cheap lol... ok the case is not damaged or anything.. just missing the fan and screws.. so they will just have to give me them.. i am going to assemble in it in the meantime :)
