Boris Posted January 18, 2004 Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 At the Bristol All Formats Computer Fair today I came across a range of H/Ds and CD/RWs from a manufacturer I had never heard of before. They apparently all seemed to be new ? and came with a 12 month manufacturers warranty.Prices were very attractive (low) but even I wasn't tempted enough to part with any cash :D Googling tonight, I found their web site and found :-http://www.nikimi.com/About/Q2.aspNikimi - "The world's leading brand of refurbished Hard Drives"Nikimi Hard drivesTwo speeds are available at 5,400 RPM and 7200 RPM rotational speed, and a wide range of capacities from 10.0GB to 120GB.

Boris Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 Their Warranty exclusions are "comprehensive"http://www.nikimi.com/Warranty/void/The sample images are worth a look - to see what damage you can do to a H/D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boris Posted January 18, 2004 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2004 I was there then as well (same time) + you can actually get in the car park then !Browsed today as well + bought some bargain speakers (£6) :) for myself - they were the last of what had been a big pile.For 2 upgrades I'm doing - 2x128MB sticks of PC100 (£26 !) [this is the max the board will take !! - currently it has 32MB and is "a bit slow ! - but OK for my needs"] and a 450W QTEC Dual Fan Gold PSU (£18 ). No 20/30 gig H/Ds though ! :( (except for the Nikimis :unsure: ) - which was my primary target - for another friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
