I know, I know, I guess someone must have slipped crack in my cornflakes , but I placed an order with ebuyer. Items in stock, delivered on or before Friday sounded fine, with most other companies it would have come Tuesday/Wednesday. Only one problem they have been stuck at "awaiting dispatch"...

I was thinking of purchasing from ebuyer. I'm not interested in after sales service, and I'm not interested in my goods arriving on time. However I *do* want the *correct* goods delivered undamaged. So what is ebuyer like in this respect? Another thing. I actually ordered a dvd writer last...

Chap brought his PC in to me today because he thought he was losing the plot because he couldn't get any dialup connection to work on his shiny new "Time Machine". After trying hyperterminal and getting "RESTRICTED" to any ATDT commands, I did a little digging and it appears they're sold with...

My colleague who lives in Crowthorne, near Bracknell, ordered bits from EBuyer for delivery last week; they were due Wednesday so he waited in. They hadn't arrived by the evening so he checked the Citylink website - marked as not in and a card having been put through the door. No card, but...

Hi, Looking to replace an ageing PIII 450 128 RAM (circa 1999) with something more powerful that can run Linux (with KDE) comfortably. Budget is £500. Can anyone suggest what I might buy for this sort of money please? Processor to go for? Minimum RAM etc etc? Many thanks.

Monsieur, sir, I bought a hard drive on Pixmania France (PIXMANIA CCL070892781). The post office web site (http://www.coliposte.net/gp/services/ accueil_gp.jsp) says that my package "Colissimo 8D00793821172 " has been received by your services on October 11th. This package contains the hard drive...

What is the position wrt dead pixels and the distance selling regs? Is it possible to reject a received LCD, even if it does not meet the manufactures/ retailers stated dead pixel policy? I'm planning a buy, bot rejecting one I've got. Thanks --

Having seen the various bad posts regarding the above, thought it was only fair that when they do get it right, I comment on it... Ordered a DVD burner bundle from their "Today Only" page at about 12 o clock. Request delivery to an alternative address from that on the credit card. 4 emails from...

Well if they cant be arsed buy this one instead its probably better anyhow, i have the actual full unit and its very quiet and lowered my...

I have just purchased a Microsoft Keyboard / mouse combo from the above company, whom I had heard were reputable. Well, the mouse is probably at least 6 months old with signs of heavy usage and does not function at all. So, a "quick" call to customer services to spend over half an hour on an 0870...

Hi, Nice to see a few posts in here again ;) - lol. Used to be pretty busy with people talking about vendors, etc. It has really quietened down now (almost nothing for the last few weeks / months until a few days ago). Nice to see a couple of posts pop up.

Hi, I'm after a scanner which is good for ocr'ing books and documents. I don't think I'll want to use it for anything else. Does anyone have any recommendations? I have a preference for buying a cheap one, but which does its job competently, and for buying somewhere over the Net if...

Aria.co.uk - absolutely bloody useless. Ordered some RAM from them back in early April, it never arrived. Emailed them and after a week they said it had been sent via Royal Mail, therefore I'd have to wait 15 working days until they could accept it had been lost in the post. Fair enough, though...

I have just bought used a P4 Socket 423 motherboard, which came without the fan clips; it has the retention brackets (the plasticy bits). I'd like to find any (UK preferably) place that sells either: * the clips only; * a whole socket 423 fan assembly (plastic bits and clips); * a heatsink and...
