The PC Build Thread

Yeah, my total was R7k. The CPU had also gone up R200 from last week, and I think the prices are going to go even higher.

Yup so I'm not the only one who noticed that, so did the motherboard. The RAM remained pretty much the same. Should see the jumps from January :-( R400

It's a sure thing.

Has anyone received a delivery from Wootware during the lockdown?

As far as I understand it, they will only trade with someone who is also certified to be an essential service provider i.e. the person needs the equipment as part of their work.

Mine should be here tomorrow. Courier thought was business so they did not deliver. I told them its person address which it is . They did not ask why I need the item, which is a headset.

Rebeltech seems to be bit more strict. Wootware will just ship. Few people got headsets on carb.

Wootware order is out for delivery, hopefully this time I get it.

Rand is tanking again, best to get those orders in now I guess.

That's ridiculous they really are milking it, how could the price go up, unless they are "pricing" it for the emergency.
Not sure why SSDs have gotten so expensive

They are probably pushing prices up due to limited supply. @Lupus has there been any movement on your Dawn Wing Tracking? Mine is still showing "On Floor" with them in Cape Town, but their tracking is not very reliable. Wondering if I should phone them to find out.
