Awsome!

Post by Red Squirrel »

I just got hooked up with this great suplier and they have EVERYTHING!

$50 4-port routers to $72K cisco OC12/sonet routers, motherboards, cases (even pre-modded ones) and so much more stuff for so cheap!

For example, a router here would normally be about 150 bucks + tax!

I did not finish looking through all the various stuff but I even seen manufacturers such as Nortel Networks (telco stuff), Cisco, and all the well known "normal" hardware such as AMD and stuff. This is great!

If ever someone is considerating building a PC, let me know. ;)

I will be setting up an online store. It will mostly be for local but anyone else from canada (or that can pay with Can $$$) can buy as well. :banana:

I have not checked cooling stuff yet, but I'm sure there must be lots...

Unfortunatly they suck for cooling. There's only 2 fans listed, a 80mm and a 120mm. There's not even fan grills or anything, there are a few cold cathodes though, and a red one that's sound activated, but other than that, not much for cooling. Prices are great for HDDs though, less than $150 for a 80 gig :banana:

Forgot to mention these prices are what they are listed as, with shipping and stuff, and the fact that I want to make a bit of profit with make it a little higher, but not too much. ;) I'll give you guys deals simply for being part of this forum. *red suddently makes friends with bit bender members and staff* hmmmm, :roflmao2:

That's so nice of you. :) :D

Anyway, those are great prices. I just wish I had the money though. :cry: :banghead:

wait 150 for 80gb in Canadian? If so, what is that in american?

and cold cathode tubes... DO they do exactly what they say? They just stay cold and are lights as well? either way, give us some more info.

Yep, about 150, That would be about 70 bucks american, but I don't think they do sell that cheap, basicly 150 is a GREAT deal for canada, I'd regularly pay AT LEAST $200, here were I live, it's 200 for a 10 gig. :rolleyes: That's months ago though, I don't think they sell 10 gigs anymore.

cold cathodes are lights that don't produce much heat, I'm sure they do, but probably very little. If you touch a flurecent it's usually room tempature, a cold cathode is probably like that. There's only green and blue though. They don't have much stuff for case modding, not even fan grills. I ordered 2 80mm fans and 1 120mm one. I only need a 120, but it was sort of a waste to pay shipping on only that. It's 5 bucks for a 80mm one! There' two, a normal one and one that has speed censor, both 6 bucks. I took the normal one as I suspect the speed censor one is a motherboard connector, and it won't reach where I want it.

Only thing I hate about this whole setup is that there's no product descriptions.

This is a typical motherboard listing:
ALB i845PE ICH4 S478 DDR333 USB2 AUD,LAN - 119.00

I sort of have to hope it works with the processor and ram I buy, when building a computer. Basicly, once I start building computers, it will cost a lot, as I'll have to keep ordering stuff until it's the right things, they don't give more info than the descriptions like that.

That's why I probably won't sell the enterprise cisco stuff, as I might think it's a router, but it might be a rack FOR that router. :rolleyes:

I contacted them about that though. Maybe there's an option to get more info and I just don't know about it.
