    Hi,

    I'm looking to bump up my RAM to 16gb and replace my optical drive with an SSD using an enclosure. Anyone have any advice on where to buy this hardware except Amazon (unless its a great price) because the exchange rate is a bit of a bummer at the moment?

    Cheers

    Recently done mine and got the stuff from memoryc.com

    I liked the fact that they were online and a bricks and mortar shop plus they're 5 mins away from where I work :) Prices were pretty decent too, probably could have done a little better from further afield but I know my business is being kept in the country..
