PCworld Samsung 120gb hdd

savemejebus

Samsung 120gb ultra quiet ide hdd (OEM) for €99 at pc world.

I was surprised anyway as they were selling 40gb boxed ones for €80, and one helpful guy even told me to try Komplett when i was asking him a question about motherboards, even told me about the current specials. cheers to him

They are also doing compaq 17" monitors for €99 and no name 15" for €79

did i read that right? an 80gb samsung drive is €65? damn thats cheap

Ebonyks

This be nerdy of me but when calculated out price per gig, it works out at 81c for 120G and 83c for 80. But when with the 120G formatted to FAt32 (whatever), with the space you lose after i suppose the 80G wins out. Just a little pointless insight....i'm pretty damn bored.

i'll go now :ninja:

just rem every Mb counts....kinda like sperm tbh

Anyone know if they've many of the compaq 17" monitors for €99 left in Blanch? I want to get a few but won't be down there till tomorrow.

me checks boxes-i bought all three drives- they all 2mb

is that ram anywhere near half decent?

im not having any trouble with it at all- in fact i have two in my machine, was cheaper then a stick of 512, i think the chips themsleves are made by imation, or inifition, something like that, and packaged by pny

If it's the 2meg version you're not getting a bargain there - not when you can get a better performing 8meg from komplett at a similar price. Still, for PC World, a huge bargain I suppose.

Assuming they manage to find it in stock and actually send it to you.

Jeez, kmb, ease up there on the oul pimpin' !!

I know,i know,i just hate people paying over the odds for componments when they dont have to as i did it long enough until i got into 4 trade companies and got proper prices which for a system builder can make the difference between a marginal profit and a nice profit.Everyone is complaining about komplett and compustore so why not just say goodbye to them as i am sure there are a lot of other trade companies that i dont know about but would gladly give my business to if i got better prices.If per chance you do know why not share it with others?

Ronan|Raven

I know stornet very well *looks out his window* but they are a trade only company people. So for average joe smo it wouldnt be to easy for them to buy off them.

kmb

Hi Ronan|Raven,I deal with kevin up there and he has said it would be okay for anyone to deal with them so i see no harm in letting people know this service is available if they want to use it,that is all.As you probaly know they are very good on pricing though their range is limited and i use other companies for software etc.That is why i have been quoting kevins name as i contact name.If you know any other good contacts maybe you might advise us?
A bit of competition may force komplett to pull their socks up!!!!After all its the consumer who benefits with competition.Also delivery is next day which is nice when your underpressure as we all get sometimes with people waiting for repairs etc.
regards

RicardoSmith

Who/what are stornet?

Ebonyks

YES! ronano i will

:ninja:

ando

where are stornet based? Any contact info? Sounds like their similar to Iqon

kmb

Hi ando,I Never heard of Iqon where are they based?Are they any good?Would be interested in contact details etc.Always on lookout for cheaper componments.
Anyway this is the contact info for stornet :
Kevin Sweeney on +353 (0) 94 96 40505 or by e:mail - kevin@stornet.ie
They are based in ballinlough co.roscommon and i just order by credit card up to 3.30pm i think it is and box lands nextday which is very handy.
I also deal with a company in dublin osmosis which is trade only as far as i know but stornet offer better prices on harddrives,ram etc but osmosis is best for software and do lots of isdn and wireless and specialise gear with standard componments too.

Hope above helps....Anyone got other contacts?

ando

Iqon are based in Dundalk but its not that far away now that the new motorway is up and running. 45mins aprox from dublin. http://www.iqon.ie/
My company buys stuff off them, usually full PC systems

Thanks from that info on stornet, I'm looking for a new HD 7200rpm 8mb cache

I was in PC World blanch yesterday and didnt see any such offers (HDD or memory)...

I got a new graphics card for 54.99 yesterday. Thought it was a fairly good deal. Haven't been able to really push it as of yet, but seems good.

Went into pcworld in Limerick last night and they still had a good number of samsung hard disk drives (80 and 120 gb) as well as a few phillips cdrw drives(€35) and artic dvd/cdrw combo drives (€65). got the phillips cd drive and it seems fine, no damage - really bare oem though, no drivers so off to do a little googling now for that. not much ram left there though compared to last week
