Hi,

I may move to HK for a 3 months job and i am looking for computer hardware prices or maybe online stores .
Are the HK prices better than in France ?
Does anyone have a link ?

PS : i looked into the "shopping" section and it lacks the category.

Thanks a lot.

No Problem. Just one of the many sites i came across when i was doing my research prior to my move to HK in about a week's time.

I'm in the IT line so knowing where I can get cheap IT stuff is to my advantage.

Thanks for the link
Does it match HK "small stores" prices ?

For the most part it's generally about right, give or take a couple tens of dollars. They vary depending on shops, market conditions, positions of the moon & stars, etc..

Prices worst, better, or the same over in France?

hi,

I have been offered compaq prolinant server without any HD's or apparent means to install them.
A quick look revealed that standard IDE cable does not fit into disk interface board.

I checked the net, but this type is no longer manufactured.

I guess I need to buy a carrier or interface to convert standard HD?
- are these carriers / interface expensive?
- where to source?

cheers.

Seriously, stay away from Compaqs. They have a fair amount of non-standard widgets in their system. The last compaq we purchased needed an *expensive* screw driver to open up....

Try the hard drive shops in Wanchai Computer Center.

Got a model number?

thanks, it will only be a play thing at home, not for a web-server, etc. model is 2500. I know it is old model, but seems unused. MB seems brand new. cheers.
