If that is the cosmos s then it should be €40 or so. At least that's what I paid for it in there. That 700W power supply should be a Jeantech Storm. It's modular which is handy and it's quite a good power supply.

Oh right. No the one I got was the cosmos s (link: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2008/02/22/cooler_master_cosmos_s/1). Great case although if you are using a TRUE 120 as you CPU cooler or something similar in height, you'll have to remove the 230mm fan on the side of the case. Either that or take a saw to the fan.

Dundalk store: I got a XFX GeForce GTS250 1GB Core Edition graphics card for 140, got it home and the thing was well broken and to be honest looked like someone had it before me.

They also had two Intel Celeron Processor & Motherboard bundles for €9.97, not sure if they still have them as it was Friday when I was in.

should also mention that currys had 3 or 4 senniozer (can be bothered to spell it correctly now) headphones for 50% off as well as some rca 5m extensions for 2 euro.

Ghost Train

pc world carrigmines seemed to have 2 gts250 core edition 1gb cards for 99€ and 3 wii's at a few different prices. The boxes were in various condition, one of the wii boxes mentioned some parts missing
