    Apart from PC World in Mahon point and the two places on Oliver Plunkett's street, what is there?

    I'm looking to buy a Netbook. Flor Griffin's has some deals on the Aspire One, but not the EEE PC 901 which I'm looking for. The 901 is about €320 in PC world which is still too much according to what some european stores are charging for it(none with intl shipping though).

    Towel is right, much wiser getting it online. Cork is a huuuuuuuuuuge rip off when it comes to PC stuff. Saw an x1600 graphics card in Soundstore for €250 a few weeks back!

    If the Stores in Europe allow in store Pickup, you could get a Courier Firm to collect and Bring it to you. I know people who have done it, but don't know how they went about it!!!

    Cork Computer Clinic are also part of the rip off in this city, they are a repair shop so you can't expect them to be competitive.

    Afraid that online is the only place you will get decent prices in Cork. Pity but true.

    I got a netbook at acerdirect in Huddersfield. They deliver to Ireland. Cheaper than Dabs.ie too.
