Have anyone tried Navada or Extreme Evolution ? I have tried both... all good. I stop going t Navada for personal reasons but I have now done most of my purchasing from Extreme if they have the stock and have found their sales to be accomdating and polite. Granted I have not had to go back to test their 'warranty or exchange' but I guess that just means the stuff they sell me works. =o) try www.xtreme-evolution.com Not too bad price also and always open to discussion about the final cash price. NEVER go to Trinix.. they were going to sell me ada890 for like $650.. and Xtreme did it for me for $545.... -Anarchy On Tue, 9 Apr 2002 21:13:06 +0800, "superdrifter" <superdrifter@iinet.net.au> wrote: >Any high power lines near there store :) > >'Dodgy Austin brothers' return........ > > >> Zac wrote: >> >> > A friend, against repetitive advice tot he contrary, bought an IBM >> > Deskstar HDD from Austin Computers in osborne Park about 6 months ago. >> > >> > It died about 2.5 months ago.
