Do Newegg ship to the UK, I was looking at the Microsoft Ergo keyboard but don't know about it shipping to this side of the pond or why it's an OEM board.

Joan, I doubt it. The US companies are usually not that flexible. But you can always send them a mail and ask. They are very good people. Here is a similar company in Germany that might ship to the UK. They usually have good prices too.

Thanks Wolfgang, I had a quick look but as I don't understand German not sure if I'll be able to follow it, plus not sure that I can really afford the cost at present but will keep my eyes open in case something comes up cheaper than I've seen so far.
Some of the reviews I read about it complain about the space bar being quite difficult to make work so I'm still at the thinking stage with regards to purchasing one.

Ebuyer seem a much larger firm but are they any good?

Has anyone in UK had experience with Ebuyer? Are they ok?

Thanks, John

I mostly use Scan but I use eBuyer now and again if I find things particularly cheap from them. One thing I would advise though is to select the Super Saver delivery. It says 5 days but if the item is big enough/expensive enough they courier it anyway so depending on day/time of ordering you'll usually get it in a couple of days.

In regards to returns warranties etc I can't say. I never had to return anything so don't know what their process is like.

This place appears to be quite cheap, providing it is in the UK.
Price listed in pounds.

Thanks, John

Yeah I order from them alot, even if you do choose super saver (5), chances are the delivery might take about 4 days instead, especially if its over a weekends (example order on thursday get it on monday/tuesday).

I also own that monitor your looking at, and it rocks ;<

Also another fine tip about ebuyer, if they say a product is discontinued, it doesn't mean that its gone for good.
It just means its probably out of stock, so, if your watching something on that site, wait a while if it discontinues, it might just come back.

 

[johnwillyums]

Thanks for the reassurance eggyuk and Pieloi. I think I will give ebuyer a try

"Pieloi, Swede of Sunderland" sounds like a great title for an adventure story and Durham is a gorgeous place with lovely people

SDD Drive from OCZ..Onyx Series 32 Gig.

$109.99 at Newegg (on sale), but only $79.99 at Buy.com (I have used them many times...good company). Free shipping as well. I love the egg, but $30.00 in my pocket is a good thing!!

My Best,

Michael

 

[whs]

You have to be careful with Buy.com. If everything goes as planned, it's fine. But as soon as you have to rectify something they are very unresponsive. Not at all like NewEgg who are always on top of things.

32GB SSD from Newegg, $85 after rebate, $99.99 before.

Patriot PS-100 PS32GS25SSDR 2.5" 32GB SATA I/II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

30GB SSD for $90,
Kingston SSDNow V Series SNV125-S2/30GB 2.5" 30GB SATA II Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)

Let the price drop, let's see what happens in Q4 when the 25nm flash comes out.

Newegg - again

Two very nice SSDs, good reviews at Tom's Hardware and Anandtech.

Intel X25-M Mainstream SSDSA2MH080G2R5 2.5" 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Original Price: $299.99
You Save: $85.00
$214.99

And little brother,

Intel X25-V SSDSA2MP040G2R5 2.5" 40GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Original Price: $124.99
You Save: $10.00
$114.99

 

[whs]

The problem with the Intel SSDs is that their sequential write speed is very slow. OCZs and even some spinning disks are better at that.

 

[Dave76]

Agreed, but still some reputable sites, Tom's Hardware and Anandtech, give them an edge due to benchmark scores (though write scores are low) and actual usage performance.

The new Sandforce controllers are bumping hard on them, but they are holding back the recommendation until longer term stats can be gathered.
Intel is still the best bet, but the gap is narrowing.
Most SSDs with the Indilinx controllers are highly recommended, top of that list is OCZ.

Transcend JF V30 USB flash drive

Unfortunately, this will cater to a very small population in this forum... those that live within driving distance . But there is a Target store that has the Transcend JF V30 USB flash drives on clearance: 8GB for $9 and 4GB for $5 (I think). Just bought the 8GB drive yesterday.

Also, unfortunately, you gotta go to the actual store.
