[CLOSED] More Dell misprices ;)

welshblob

This looks like a bargain Asus board with SATA RAID all for £27.77 inc VAT + P&P.
a) if it will fit (its a full ATX not mini-ATX board)
b) if you're willing to trust ebuyer
c) if it works with the CPU\RAM

EDIT: This board only supports 533/400 FSB and I think the CPU is 800 FSB, sorry.

Also if you're desparate for a floppy drive bracket then I think the one you need is a 1T909 which can be bought from the site below for £7 + £2 P&P (yes £9 for a bracket when the drive costs about £4 !!)

Mind you at the low price of cases you might just be better off just buying a new one.

Cheers welshblob, I'd rather stick to an Intel chipset though to be honest

The floppy bracket would be handy, but I'd only pay a fiver max for it heh

What is everyone doing with these PCs?

I already have tons of boxes at the house and can't figure out what to do with the 177 deal one, they phoned and I know I am getting it on Monday - should I resell it? or strip it and sell the 3.0 ghz processor ( 110 quid from Ebuyer... ) and such?

Mine's going to be a much needed upgrade from my current crappy celeron PC

I assume you intended to sell it on when you bought it? Check out the current prices they go for on eBay, you might get more if you sell the bits off separately, I'm not sure.

Alternatively I'm sure they're plenty of people on here who missed out on the deal if you're feeling good-natured

Guys

Here's the link to the motherboard upgrade thread. Some very good info in there, it's given me some nice upgrade ideas

has anyone had any success with the Dell courier website

http://www.walshwestern.com/scripts/trackntrace.htm

when i put in the customer number and order number from my dell pdf it says
incorrect.

do you have to lop off some of the numbers or is it just another part of dell's customer service which is inefficient?

Of course if it's not showing up at all then you should call Dell.

If/when it does show, you can sign up for "Orderwatch" which emails you when it's shipped
