1482488 2021-11-26 00:38:00 Any 'cheap' way to add USB type C to my old PC?

Saw some PCIe add on cards but they are not cheap!

1482489 2021-11-26 01:33:00 Depends on what is classed as "Cheap" Did you want a Adaptor / hub that plugs into USB3 on the computer with USB-C ports OR a PCIe Card with USB-C ports ?? wainuitech (129)
1482490 2021-11-26 03:37:00 Having a look about they are over priced in NZ

I'm in the process of building a new PC, the board doesn't have USB-C and was wanting some as well. Went and ordered one from Aliexpress -- How's $30 NZ???

It may be here before Christmas-who knows, I'll let you know when it arrives :) Some stuff takes longer than others, had stuff turn up within 2 weeks, others take a month or more. Depends on how much of a hurry you're in.

If you want 4 Port Bit more expensive BUT

Depends how its coming, just had 4 different items turn up this week, longest was ordered 3 weeks ago.

Some USB adapters don't work like they are meant to / Advertised. Had that happen MANY times.

1482493 2021-11-26 07:28:00 Just to prove Aliexpress is not always slow, here's one I got earlier this month. 12 Days from ordering to receiving.

Often it takes longer to get from NZ Customs to your address, its not uncommon to sit in Auckland for two weeks ;)

1482496 2021-11-26 20:39:00 With Aliexpress I work on the principle as long as you're in no hurry its not a problem. But usually expect at least a Month. If it comes earlier thats a bonus. :)

SWMBO got a Parcel yesterday, she didn't know what it was, it ended up being a handbag type thing that holds phone and everything including the kitchen sink LOL cost her $10 ( the same in NZ would have been around $90) She had gotten a refund as it was taking to long she applied for a refund after 7 weeks, then it turned up ( typical)

Clothes are another matter their sizing are small. Some of its rubbish some not, some the items are the exact same thing you get in NZ but at a fraction of the price.

I've gotten in LCD panels at a fraction of teh cost, they are Brand New and the EXACT same panel as the original.

Try 2 months now.

With the aliexpress orders I did last night, EXPECTED delivery dates where 13Jan & 31Jan .
Some sellers 'expected' delivery dates were Feb next year !!!
At least they are being honest with that .

Buy from NZ if you want it this year
