    lol right now i have 2 parcels (29kg) from HWVS stuck in Cologne/Koln Germany waiting for their departure. (Which were despatched on Tuesday)

    I also have 15kg of dog food in the same airport which i ordered on Thursday from a completely different part of Germany.
    Theyre all coming through DHL Germany

    Im going to be getting nearly 50KG's worth of produce from the post man sometime next week. Ill probably have my own van :p
    and a very angry postman :)

    No nothing came. No snow in Cork though. And there was a Cargo flight over the weekend from Cologne airport to Cork so i presumed my stuff would be on that.

    Me too. Both my hardware from HWVS and my dogfood are stuck in Cologne. Although id say they are in Ireland by now and DHL's tracking abilities have extinguished.
    Ill be fairly pi$$ed off if it doesnt arrive tomorrow. There is no snow in Cork so no excuse.

    Hi guys sorry for the off topic post but anyway I ordered a pair of black dragon 4GB PC3-8500 off hwvs. Does this ram have any disavantages over the PC3-10600 version of the ram? Hopefully I will have no problems as the Motherboard supports both PC3-10600 and PC3-8500? :)

    Hopefully I get the build later on today as I am off from school :)

    is there much of a difference in speed? is it worth the effort to send the ram back and buy the 10600 version? :o

    http://www2.hardwareversand.de/articledetail.jsp?aid=38478&agid=1205
    link to ram I bought BTW :o

    EDIT: I was doing some research online about the differences between the two ram frequencies and the guy said that you don't really notice any major differences in terms of speed unless you are using a quad core CPU so that's grand I guess :)

    Well my dogfood is in the country according to the tracking website. Computer bits are still in Cologne apparently. Very annoying considering i ordered the computer parts nearly 3 days before the dog food.

    I suppose the dog has to be fed though :rolleyes::P

    The difference between 1066 CL7 and 1333 CL9 is pretty minimal to be honest. The lower latency makes up for the slower clock frequency.

    Bad news when Installing the PSU I noticed that it would not go in evenly so I had a look at it under the microscope and you can see that one of the pins is slightly bent :(:mad: So I am going to have to send it back to them :rolleyes:
