£2.84 cheaper than ebuyer.
I'll have to keep an eye on them.

Weekly Offers

Service is far better than ebuyer too... also use DHL overnight from Norway

Never had a problem with Komplett over the last 18 months or so...

Great weekly specials that's for sure!

At that price I'd go for the WD 120JB, 8MB cache, 3 year warranty, faster and better reliability than the Maxtor. See here for details. You can get them from Komplett, Scan, EBuyer, everywhere really.

Yes those 8mb 3yr models are lovely I admit.

Picked up a pair of the WD180gb 8mb cache/3yr warranty models (with free ata133 controllers/etc bundled as well) for only $199 each in the states and had my sister-in-law bring them over in here carryon when she visited earlier this year.

Sorted my HTPC out quite nicely must admit

That particular 120gb drive (the 6Y120L0 or P0) is recommended for sky+ mods, seems to spin up as quickly as other 5400's or at least quick enough that sky+ hasnt fallen over unlike some 7200rpms

I bought a harddrive from Komplett which was Dead on arrival.

They took ages and ages to sort it out, and eventually I just canelled the order and got a refund but even that took a long time. All in all i would say it was a few months of me ringing them everyday...... my opinion.... dont buy harddrives online (especially from Komplett)... they break too easily in the post.
