Rectron Pricelist

I thought Esquire was always backwards. I think it depens if you have an account manager at Rectron. Just ordered a UPS now and my account manager gives me great service. There front desk improved a lot, it's not that frikkin talking number machine anymore. The only (thing) I do not like is their MD and that I cannot transfer money, I must draw cash.
Axiz have great service except when you need to pickup something, you can sometime spend a while there.Their HP laptops are a bit expensive for me.
Mustek has always given me great service - fast & reliable and always have stock of what they supply.
 
I agree with the AXIZ issue when u must pick up something.

Its also a bit better now at Rectrol (like you said) without that numbering service. The suppliers that I have waited the longest time to collect my goods, were at Rectron & Sahara. At Mustek, everything is going smooth. Nowadays I purchase all computer goods at Mustek for my company.

That's nothing I had to pay R 500.00 to ACT a sister company of Tarsus to join. After a couple of months they told me that my account is dormant because I'm not buying enough "cartridges". I told them what they must do with their company and give my R 500.00 back, which they refuse to do.
I've picked up a couple of HP laptops for a lot cheaper than Axiz from Eurobyte.
 
Have u tried HP themselves? I think you can purchase directly from them.

Like you said, Mustek is more expensive than Rectron, but when service is a necessity , then I dont mind paying. If you want cheaper products if your running a computer shop, then Mustek wont do, but in the corporate division, Mustek suites us.

I think you think of that HPSMBChoice. You pay R2500 per year to join them and then they create a personalised store for your company. Well actually they just put your logo on. The end-user can then shop from the hpsmbchoice store of his choice. You can view it at the link mentioned below.

Bad service and general bad attitude towards their longtime customers. I don't know anyone who still uses them.

Sahara also have bad service, but at least they're much cheaper than Rectron.
 
I agree that rectron is dam expensive!!! But SAHARA stuff always breaks!!

I didnt think of axis but I know 1 or 2 dealers for them!

I'm looking for a cheap server pc to run a small network, no Xeon's etc!

Im looking at getting 256mb ram, amd XP 1.8Ghz CPU, I've got a spare cpu and mb so I've decided to use what i've got and buy the remainder hardware!

Since rectron so expensive etc...Let me re-phrase my question: Who has an axis pricelist for me? :) :) :)

Thanks to all those who helped me! ( u know who u are! :) )

Rectron .... weren't they captured selling second hand motherboards as new last year?? They also didn't make amends. Fatal error in business as far I'm concerned.

Dude... A AMD CPU or Creative Xi-Fi doesnt just break just because its from Sahara, maybe a cheap chinese something (keyboard, case or whatever) that is rebranded with a Sahara logo, then of course it can break easy cause it log quality.
 
If I may ask you, are you in the private or corporate business sector?

What type of data and data sizes do you want to transfer accross your network? Here's a few basic tips on planning for your network solution (I haven't got an AXIZ pricelist, but with this basic info, you can look at what u will need, and deciding if you still want to use an AMD:eek: with 256MB RAM for the job...)

--> Planning the layout of data transfer and data sizes
--> Deciding on waht type of server u want to use (for ONLY file transfer server, u can use a normal desktop with WINXP, but with recommended 512MB RAM+) - When using something for WIN2k3 Server, and using it as a dedicated server, I wouldn't settle for anything less than an Intel XEON 64bit, and no less than 2GB of RAM (thats if your running a medium to larger networks)
--> No what software u'll be running, and make sure for compatibility issues.

Thats for me some of the important basic info, depending (like I said) what ur needs of a server will be.

What I can also think of by getting a pricelist from AXIZ, is by going to their website, go to the link, and when a password is required, phone them and ask for anyone in their sales dept. for the password. If they want company info, just PM.

Good Luck

Im in the private sector,

Me and a few peeps want 2 get a phat adsl line and share it among us! I need the server pc to monitor each of us ( 3 friends ) coz we will prob be sharing a 3 gig cap or 6 gig cap

I'm not going to be running any dedicated servers at all! just 1 or 2 monitoring progams and WinXP. I know that windows XP needs MORE THAN 256mb of ram 2 run properly but once the server is up I will leave it in a corner and not touch it!! so if the mouse lags coz of not enuf ram, thats fine!

If I need more ram then I'll get another 256 chip and have a totol of 512mb

I've already tried the software on my currebt pc and it works fine......

Is 256 mb ok for my needs?

out of interest sake, could anyone post the price of the AMD 4400+ dualcore incl vat from axiz ?

One of the suppliers in Durban, Mach4, sells it for 2032 incl
 
Thats not a bad price!

I paid R 2400 for a 3800+ :( back in the day when I wasn't a forumite!!!
 
Razer0, both my suppliers in Gauteng have it at around R1950, so thats a slight difference.

Headstrong, back in the day (before the Core 2 Duo came out) they were that price, dont be sad. Also as to your server, Im pretty sure a Celeron D with a decent brand all-in-one motherboard will more than meet your needs.
 
Well the spare mboard that I have is sort of all-in-one: it has lan,audio,3gig max ram ; ddr400, amd socket A cpu support,etc etc!

I'm going to start off with an amd 2200+ with the MB.....I've already got it, why not try it first :)

SHot 4 help
 
Hope youre gonna use Linux :p

1950, bit of a difference but not that much. I was just checking because someone claimed that one could buy a brand new one for less then 1700, which I highly doubted, so needed to make sure :)

Thoughts confirmed!
