Because they were at the stores and I wasn't gonna spend that much on a hard drive when you could buy almost 1TB space with three 320GB drives for the same cost.

I don't think it was 32k. Still that drive is over US$350 in most shops in USA.

Wrong! The maximum size of a Raptor is 150GB. (model: WD1500ADFD)

[Anusha]

You mean 320GB vs. 500GB? Because there aren't any 350GB discs in existence.

[zCexVe]

Wrong! The maximum size of a Raptor is 150GB. (model: WD1500ADFD)WD caviar????

[HishamZz]

it does happen.. in ma case i was bout 2 get down an x800 a few years back which da buggerz here ve never heard o.. luckily for me those moronz scrwed da deal n i wuz able 2 save loadza cash.. price @ dat time = 80000 right now = below 10k..

prob is da people here bring down stuf based on demand.. so ya dnt see da high tech gizmoz unless and otherwise derez people who r really interested in em.. but knowing dese technologies exist.. it aint such a hassle gettin em down wit da right cash n wit some time..

[zCexVe]

I hid my mobo under some chocalatesand clothes while clearing in Customs.If not it would hav been a disaster for me.

[HishamZz]

Zz

[zCexVe]

The one who checked said to its superior 'sir there is a computer part here'The prize tag on the mobo was 329USD(actually it was 289 USD).So the superior officer has seen this i would hav[actually my dad]to pay more for that package which we got frm ma uncle.so we quickly hid it and cheat with some another thing lol

[HishamZz]

weird.. there aint no taxation for electronic devices bought for personal use so y worry.. i bought a few parts maself n they checked n brushed me outta the checkpoint in a breeze.. lolz..

Haha. Serves you right :lol: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Yeah, this has happened to my cousin and one of my friends. Whenever they say they have such and such products, and if I'm looking to buy them, I ask them to confirm that they have the product in the stores. When Iwas going to buy this PC, they told me that they had the AthlonX2 3800+ and when I asked them to check it with the stores, they said that checking was not necessary. But when I insisted, they checked and, it was not they. :angry: :angry: Those fools!!!!

[chaminga_d]

Sorry 4 going out of this thread...
I dont think these products can be bought from LK

LaCie's d2 SATA II external hard drive, available with capacity of up to 500GB, connects to PCs with the eSATA interface that transfers data at 3 gigabits per second.

Iomega's Black series connects with either eSATA or USB. The 320GB model costs about $200, and the 500GB model about $300.

LaCie's Too Big is a hybrid product. The two-drive system connects with either eSATA or USB. Its capacity is up to 1 terabyte

[zCexVe]

Still these cannot be bought outta here.We can only have a 320GB max frm here,but good to go for 250s while prices drop down..

I can't think about such a place in Sri Lanka. Maybe you should order PC parts from USA.

Aren't their any free shipping companies, that bring the products to the doorstep? I wish there were such companies.

I wonder why you don't use them :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[chaminga_d]

I wonder why you don't use them.....

1. I'm not like to be a trouble 4 them...
2. I have to wait long time to obtain parts...
3. They do not know how to choose the best one n what i want then i have to select them on net....
4. I have to send/give money before buying bec. some of them are no related (Singapore n India) ....
5. At the time i bought this pc, i had no intention buy parts from abroad.... now i had no idea to buy a new pc...
6. Some times my ideas are changed in rapid then they will in trouble... last year i had looked 4 a camcorder... i had told him about so many products... after all i had bought a mobile phone from LK n stopped buying camcorder.... from that day he do not have trust on me... (He means - My cousin in UK)
