    I found something similar on Amazon for 5 cents cheaper, lol. http://www.amazon.co.uk/LUPO-ETHERNET-NETWORK-RJ45-ADAPTER/dp/B000S6DFZ8

    Which would you go for in terms of reliability - Amazon or Deal Extreme?

    Or if anyone can beat our finds then by all means, post it. :D

    Amazon
    • are a UK company and list prices in £ sterling
    • don't ship electronics to Ireland, although some Marketplace Sellers do
    • charge something like £7 delivery if they do deliver


    Dealextreme
    • are based in China somewhere (Hong Kong?) and list prices in $US
    • don't have a delivery fee
    • are very reliable

    So the Amazon item would probably cost about £14/$25 if they actually deliver it.

    Thanks for the info. I'm new to sites like these. I ended going for a PCI adapter in the end.
