    Had one in basket for that price, then went back and saw it for €22. I got to the very last stage too before getting an error, can't even get into my cart now. Really disappointing.

    rs is only selling to uk only????????????


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,731 ✭✭✭GreenWolfe


    I'm not quite sure what's going on. I was only able to express my interest at RS (before it went down), but Farnell customers can buy them already? :confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,845 ✭✭✭massy086


    and twitter is saying farnell sold out


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Getting Site Unavailable warnings on Farnell now. Managed to get back in to my shopping cart, clicked checkout and crashed again :(

    from there twitter:(

    "We believe Farnell has sold out already. Blimey"


  • Registered Users Posts: 10,381 ✭✭✭✭Allyall


    Farnell is sold out apparently.. :mad:

    Not getting anywhere at all..

    Farnell site is unavalailable (when it loads)

    What's the RS ireland Registration link?


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,921 ✭✭✭Cherry_Cola


    Really disappointing that the Farnell site crashed out on the very last stage for me, I assumed it was a secure connection when sending payment details so how the hell would it crash with some random error.

    Aaron Parker ‏ @parkeyparker Wow, they guys at @Raspberry_Pi are really hammering the servers of RS Components and Farnell! Glad I got in within the first few seconds!

    I haven't got a pre-order confirmation mail from RS. I hope it'll arrive soon, or I'll start thinking this whole thing was a figment of my imagination.

    Congrats :)

    Farnell claim they're perfroming a site upgrade and that their sites are unavailable worldwide, which seems like poor timing. I can't get at either RS or Farnell at this point, so I suspect no initial order for me.

    Given that my main interest is in getting 4 or 5 of the things to build a tiny, low-power home network and use it to learn more about implementing DNS/DCHP/NIS etc in Fedora/Red Hat, I was going to have to wait a while anyway, so I'm not too bothered.
