I get that from my local vendor, and that may include an educational discount. For example, another vendor I often use lists the 8LP at $609.99. My price is $491.98. I think I should consider myself lucky!
/me looks at Matt with envy.
The price I am quoting comes from the local distributor...and it ain't that much lower too from local resellers.
A whole hundred bucks difference. Sigh. So much for Hong Kong being a place for good deals.
I think my wife would disagree. She would see the availability of Granville Road in Kowloon where she could buy unlimited supplies of dirt cheap designer bags and clothes as a good substitute. :D
Ah, I should have specified the illusion of electronic goods being cheaper in this duty free haven :D
How many cards did you need? I wonder if they'd be cheaper in Shenzhen? Might be worth the ferry ride if you bought a lot of them.
Heh, the pricing I got was from the local distributor who was also the local distributor in Shenzen.
Even the proximity with Taiwan didn't make much of a difference with Areca cards...they are pretty much the same as the 3ware cards...I guess that means the vote is for 3ware :P given the maturity of their drivers and the whole known stability their cards have :) whereas Areca is pretty much unexplored territory for me.
None at the moment. I was just wondered what, if any, differences there would be if I bought one card here.
