| 540922 | 2007-04-14 23:23:00 | I've just been moved. Went back to HN and got a webcam for $15. I intend to setup a webcam one day. | dolby digital (5073) | ||
| 540923 | 2007-04-16 03:38:00 | Yes sorry, not all information was supplied... Its a 250GB, 3.5" with an external power supply. They are $150.00 which ain't to bad. Note this is a local special as HD has just come to town... all local PC assemblers have now gone out of business :( Pctek, well yes, it could be wired incorrectly but assuming it is (and professionally assembled pc's should be wired correctly). I presume the USB 2.0 headers on the motherboard are full power ones. I was going to get one of those, but the 'Opening Special' leaflet that arrived in our postbox only arrived last night on the 15th, and the special deal only applied between the 12th to the 15th. Quite peed off about it at the time, as why couldn't harvey norman get them, delivered on time. Anyway, I have found out that it is infact better value to buy a regular seagate harddrive(which comes with a 5 year warrenty), and an external enclosure for it. You can also get SATA versions, which means you can get far quicker speeds than you can get with the HN one, which is only USB2 and only has a 1 year warrenty. You have to pay HN more to extend it to a 3 year warrenty. |

They get around it by this policy www.harveynorman.co.nz I actually think that selling extended warrenties should be outlawed, apart from when selling to businesses. Basically consumers are paying for something for nothing, as they are covered by the CGA if something goes wrong. I was purchasing for a business, so I do like a 5 year warrenty on a harddrive. |
