Once again its time for WK`s bargain basement bulk buys.

As with the UPS`s from i9, i`ve located a cheap source of 400gb HDDs.

The specs are as follows:
Segate Baracuda
400gb
7200rpm
SATA
8mb Cache
Brand new, boxed, with manufacturer`s warranty.

The price: £175 each with the possibility of that price dropping to £170 or less with enough quantity.

The retail price from komplett is £210 as seen here --> http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/ki.asp?sku=302885&cks=PRL
The same item from ebuyer is £235 as per here --> http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=6102263786&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=81603

Delivery: to i23 only.

Payment: Bank transfer before the event is preferable, but i will accept cash on delivery

This is a VERY time limited offer. I need to know quantities by tomorrow (thursday) in order to garantee delivery for i23.

So.

Answers on a post card..

First come first served etc.

Edit1: People who have already reserved their units at a previous promotional price are:
WK (me :D )
Killing
Geedee
Cruz
Pingman

Edit2: Additional units now reserved for:
Her0n
Gunsmith

Edit3: If i can get a large enough initial order, i will probably be bringing about 30 odd along with me to the event to sell "on the day" subject to craigs "on site trading" approval, but that is very much subject to inital demand and interest posted in THIS thread.
If no-one posts, i wont bother to bring them.
(other than those that have been ordered)

Edit4: People who might get one at the event

So buy two more and break the Terrabyte barrier.

I spose i should put on my MPUK hat and say that you shouldnt be filling these at this event. Warez is bad mmmmkay. Unless you are just gonna mirror the MPUK ftp. But i`m sure RTO wont be best pleased about the network death.
