eBuyer.co.uk - Opinions?

the leads for the front of the case will be attached to the case so dont need to buy them. the power lead should come with the case i think but not sure.

I will order one seperately then unless someone can confirm it will be with the case. Are motherboards usually labelled so that i know where to plug the leads from the front of the case in?

The case comes with the light cables, power lead, front usb socket cables etc.

In fact, cases often come with 2.. UK plug and european plug.

I've bought Abit mobos since year dot and they've only ever come with a single IDE cable (used to be 40 wire [ata33] now it's 80 wire [ata66 and above]). So unless your dvdr or hdds came with another IDE cable, you'll wanna go fetch one from somewhere.

They're lablled, you get diagrams in the manaul and plugs often only fit into sockets 1 way, so you can't botch it.

I'm playing EVE, I'll lag myself out

It's a normal 40 wire IDE cable (3 connectors). Unless your dvdr drive and hdd that you intend to shuv on the secondary interface are both ata66 or above, in which case get a normal (3 cons) 80 wire IDE cable.

My Abit IC7 came with 1x ide (rounded) 1x fdd (rounded) 2x sata.

As for next day delivery, i uused it once came 3 days later, since then ive always used there standard delivery and waited usually 3-5days, never had it next day.

[darrylstott]

ebuyer help page

We use both CityLink and ParcelForce to deliver packages to our customers.

citylink link are good in my experience, never used parcelforce.

ebuyer have a warehouse in sheffield so if your anywhere near there then you'll be fine

I ordered some CD-Rs from Dabs and they have yet to arrive via Parcelforce. They said they attempted delivery on the 15th but no card was left and they were to be redelivered today but it hasn't happened

[wod]

hmm, when i've ordered of dabs i got my stuff next day. must be a slip up somewhere. have you phoned to see where they are ?

I'm undecided whether or not to order from them, seems to be alot of complaints so far in this thread.

[wod]

theres other sites you can order from if your not sure about it

[darrylstott]

I haven't found any as cheap

[fragmast3r]

I never realy know if its wise asking if site a is good or bad, ive found ebuyer rather shoddy, while others found it good, i found overclockers co.uk good, others found it shoddy, we all agree on gameplay :P

its like pissing in the wind, u takes your chances everytime
