| 341551 | 2005-04-04 11:16:00 | Probably available a LOT cheaper elsewhere (also if you install it yourself), but considering it means local service and support (theoretically), then that's fine. | somebody (208) | ||
| 341552 | 2005-04-04 11:17:00 | The price of your DVD writer and TV card is very dependent upon the specifications of each. What are the brand/model numbers for each. Can't say whether that is a good price or not without that information. :) | Jen (38) | ||
| 341553 | 2005-04-04 11:18:00 | Depends on the brands and what not......If they are trying to sell the lowest priced items at those prices then they are on the high side,A cheapish TV card is $60,a good card is $120-$150. Likewise with the DVD,what brand,and is it 16x plus 4xwrite dual layer,and with Nero? I charge $20 to install gear,and truth be told its a 3 minute job most of the time...... Edit So....why doesn't everyone race to answer.... Muhahahahaha. |

I have the bit of paper he gave me with prices ,no mention of make,seemed a bit reluctant to give info,I had bad vibes so didn't press. The USB ports,Is that about right? Wish I lived in Wanga,mind you I think you would move out. Thank you all for imput,I will stay with computer world. |

| 341555 | 2005-04-04 11:46:00 | Hi Metla can you come up to Auckland & work for me? At $20 a pop, I won't have to do anything! (I charge triple that) (just a little joke) |

| 341556 | 2005-04-04 12:05:00 | Went into local computer shop in Rangiora. Cicero, there is a Dick Smith Electronics store opening in Rangiora sometime this month. They should have a DVD Writer for ~ $134 (16 x and dual layer). If you can use a screwdriver you could fit it yourself? Easier than cleaning a shower door. Wasn't that you operating the "computer repair stall" at the Swannanoa country fair a few weeks back? |

Didn't know that,I wonder where they will be? When I saw you approaching at the stall,I whipped on my false beard,should have known I couldn't fool you. |

USB card is too much. $25 more like for a 4 port. DVD is too much. Liteon 16x Dual - $120. TV Card ? Installation - well why not order these things online somewhere and install them yourself, not really hard. And if he won't tell you what brands and is reluctant to tell you anything, AVOID. |
