CPC are pretty expensive delivery-wise IIRC; I think you only qualify for free delivery when you spend over £30 or something.

We use Farnell and RS at work, but they're not the cheapest.

For regular customers they often do "Free Delivery" weekends & this is a free delivery month for some regulars.

Once you are on their list you get one or more monthly small catalog(s).

Which reminds me I must get some more blank DVDs (100 for approx £22).

That's quite expensive. Unless they're dual layer.

I'd imagine two tubs of those would be cheaper even after adding P&P. :) And they're good quality too, I get no coasters.

I'm wanting to replace an 80gb hdd on a mac mini 1,1. Any advice before purchase? :D

That never seems any cheaper to me. I'm quite happy to buy from a store. Is Mac compatible with any hdd brand?

Mmm, yes..

I quite like DataWrite disks, used them before.

I usually only use DVD+R as the error correction is slightly better. But SVP price for +Rs is good too.

:) I'd imagine so.

:D They're good discs. I been through plenty of crappy brands in the past, but I've been using these for a couple of years now and they're always good quality.

What for a PC?

No, for a HDD.

It's an ongoing joke, only I know about, nevermind.

Ah, ok. :D
