    I did the following last time my SSD packed up and it works out cheap enough (€4.00) , especially considering you will get the item next day.

    1) Sign up for Parcel motel (if you don't have a account already) http://www.parcelmotel.com/
    2) Sign up for a 30 day free trail of amazon prime (https://www.amazon.com/gp/prime/pipeline/signup)
    3)Enter the NI parcel motel address (don't forget to include your PMID!) on amazon. Instructions can be found here.
    4) Place this in your basket (they don't have the fx 6100 in stock, but the 6300 is more powerful), select the NI address to dispatch to and select guaranteed next day delivery as the delivery option.
    5) Collect the parcel tomorrow!

    Amazon also have a official next day delivery method without all that setup, but it costs €20 :o

    right sir i have just ordered using your diabolical scheme :cool:


    main reason i want it so fast is because i book monday and tuesday off work to get in some solid gaming
    the extra few quid will be worth it

    One thing about that amazon free trail is that it automatically renews. you can cancel the rest of your subscription now and it won't effect anything though :)

    right so it has shipped out

    will update when i get it

    Were you sure that it was the CPU? They very seldom break. It's usually something else.

    yep after two replacement motherboards i managed to get a loan of an old Athlon processor and everything works away.

    so should have it either tonight or in the morning
