unforgiven, I am not sure if we have the cm690 in stock (will check first thing in the morning). If we do though, I will have it delivered up to you monday next week if still interested.

what kind of router do you have? depending on which one you should be able to apply qos (quality of service). Essentially, giving priority to other traffic. could be based on port or device.

My complaint really and truly has been the fact that a comment was made about the trust of one brand over another. It doesn't have to be the Corsair PSU, it could be any brand any part but the basis of my point is to be objective.
As WASD says you base your "trust" with brands you have experienced before, if you have no prior experience with a brand you would generally rely on feedback that other people have had through reviews and forums.
From reviews and forums you would find that it is a well known brand in the market. The article was written last year, and Corsair has been selling them from since 2006. In which time they have more than likely outsold their competition. So its strange to think that your saying they are not well known.
The point has never been about the quality of the unit but rather on the fact that it is unfair to make a statement that you don't trust a product because you don't know it or have had experience with it.

well i should mention its seasonic built but engineered to corsair specifications. "A brand that isnt well known can have the best product in all the worlds but its lack of popularity would cause people to look the other way. And this principle applies to everything all round really." Actually the Corsair PSU's are pretty much the most recommended PSU's out there. I would seriously look at HardOCP PSU torture test and instead of choosing a brand that you may know, you choose a brand that you have research to be a good product like the way you research other products. And more importantly don't take my word for it, but ask fellow enthusiats on that forum which PSU they would choose when put up against some others in comparision. Essentially what I'm trying to get at is don't make rash statements without making a serious effort to research the product. http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html?art=MTMwMSwsLGhlbnRodXNpYXN0

okay that is a fair answer. but not really a good reason to just not simply trust a brand.
for instance, would you trust seasonic. if you do you would realise seasonic who oem for many of the manufacturing companies out including antec as well as their retail brands are actually the oem for that corsair psu.

Actually we have an eta of 23.03, and the pricing keeps changing.

It is exactly as Sax says.
Either way I have a faxed 7 page document from customs and excise (not great quality) regarding computer parts and accessories. This is the new updated list which they "should" be following.
Main parts: mobo, cpu, memory, psu's all vatable only. Video cards free ( could be charged if they classify it wrong )
Let me know if anyone wants to know anything else.

well based on the list you posted i do see video cards in the VAT only section. but again as mentioned, it is really how it is classified on that non trade document. i have seen where video cards are classified right and they are charged the tax and some aren't tax. so while it may be that you didn't get charge this rounds, someone else may not be as lucky. either way the couriers do play a big part in how these things are described in the manifesto and a lot of them claim it is strictly a customs issue but thats just to cover themselves.

After a very strongly worded letter to Ezone about some seemingly erroneous Customs charges, I was rewarded with
a very terse reply and an attachment. It details all the Customs duties and VAT charges for various items.
I have attached the file for your perusal. Note...this still didnt explain exactly how they computed their charges eh.
The link expires in 7 days, so get it quickly.
you should always ask for the non trade document so you can see how the courier company classified the parts in the manifesto and how duties and vat were applied to the values submitted. WTF?! they say that VAT is charged on PC parts?! i thought it was vat/tax free?
vat was never removed on some parts, customs revised their codes and some of the parts that were not usually charged are now being charged vat, e.g video cards, especially expensive ones.

A replacement battery for that particular unit shouldn't cost you no more than $150. give me a pm and I will see what I can do to help you out with this.

I think its kinda true what your saying, the performance really lies in the numbers. For the most part the average user doesn't need this stick of memory, but if your one that is looking for the maximum performance out of each part, these really do the trick. The new heatsink and pcb design allows for the oc'ers to get a little crazy with the numbers they can clock out of these modules and not have to worry about overheating.

I have actually used the PC2-8888 Dominator on a customers build and it performs outstanding. One thing is for sure, its not for your average joe, be prepared to shell out serious $$$ for these.

yep. it surely is a great psu. i have used a couple of these in systems ive built and i dont think i have even come close to making this thing sweat.
the way i feel about it, its better to buy something thats gonna last than have to buy a cheap one every couple of months. might jus save your parts and money in the long run.
