Delivery is a flat €19, no matter how much you get off them.

FlyingIrishMan

No. Its 18.99 for the entire thing to be posted to Ireland.
Yes.
One week roughly.
They will.

Don't get that RAM. 650w is more than you need you can drop to 550w, or even 450w if you want.

SamV

bought ram from them, good price and arrived within a week

Digy123

It has massive heat spreaders as you can see in the picture.
It can get in the way of some stuff such as fans, or cables.

550w is still plenty for any single card on the market. Unless you plan on using dual cards you won't need more than that. Saves you almost 20euro.

I've only ordered of them once and I got my parts fine within a week.
Their customer service is very good, emails come back the next day usually and you can ring them and they are helpful there too.

@Digy123
Just go with the cheapest you can find. These G.skill ones are in two of my builds and I haven't had a single problem with them.

Skylinehead

Or this if you want to keep some aesthetics

Digy123

I have just seen that the Vengeance ram is clocked at 1600 and the G skill is 1333 is there any difference?

Not even a smidge

daz801

you can get a low profile version of the vengeance, not much difference performance wise, but looks a lot nicer, comes in white, red, black or blue as well. I'm really not a fan of generic looking ram, if your going to spend the money on a performance machine at least make it look puuuurdy:D

Yes. Although if your based around Dublin I'm sure one of the lads here wouldn't mind building it for you if you wanted to save 20euro.

A week to 10 days usually

TheDoc

So wont be hear for my gaming feast next week

O well something to do over the following weekend

TheDoc

Does anyone know how to track orders from this place?

My account shows that its dispached May 10th and has a number, what I can only assume is a tracking number.

But nothing jumping out at me where to search for this number.
Also only email I got was like a paypal invoice.

Thanks

NTMK

the tracking number will work on dhl.de

Tij da feen

Input that number into the shipment tracking box at http://www.dhl.de/

TheDoc

aaaaaa .de

gbro800

Do they include UK/IE power plugs for Irish customers or do you need to get adapters for monitor & computer?

Tij da feen

Just get 3-pin kettle leads for them, the monitor should have the same input as well.

Well it was dispatched May 10 (which was a Thursday), and it arrived today, which is a Tuesday. Pretty quick if ya ask me

I think they dispatch the day after you pay them.

^Did your power supply come with a plug that worked here in Ireland? Or was it the two-pronged European plug? I know this is an old post but a reply would be much appreciated!

BloodBath

It would be a 2 pinned plug. They can still be used here with a cheap adapter or by sticking something into the top earth pin hole to open the bottom 2.

You'll get a 2 pin plug most likely. You have a few options. Replace with standard 3 pin kettle leads (if you have to buy, they'll be 3 quid at most). Or you can buy an adapter. Or you can force them in But I don't recommend this in the long run, it's a really tight squeeze.
