its about time - MSY

[inark]

Theres finally a decent sized store on the eastsiiiiide.

No more having to go to the shitty little, dingey, clostraphobic closet of a store stuffed with smelly little computer nerds 24/7.

Clayton store is soooooooooooo much better.... open... room to breath and you can actually go have a look at shit.

just thought you should know incase your still going to the Malvern one.

Clayton one is just down from Monash Uni... half way between the uni and maccas on springvale rd. 214 i think.

nice to know, empireit isn't bad either, decent parking and quicker service unlike cpl.

[inark]

My website is still a work in progress but I can get most IT things/Digi Cams/Home Entertainment/iPod things etc.

I don't hold a lot of stock but can get most stuff next day. Having said that there isnt a lot of mark up on IT as most people know. Feel free to PM with any requirements.

That is the idea ultimately but as yet the site is more to demonstrate the areas of products I can get. There is a fair bit more done on my localhost site here but I dont want to put one section live and have to try and maintain that content whilst developing the rest of the site.

Just had a look at that Scorptec. They have virtually all the lines I can get/carry. I think they must have some of the same suppliers. I also get things in from overseas.

msy in clayton.. awesome .

EmpireIT: lots of car parking, quick server, good prices, usually few dollars cheaper than CPL, but few dollars more than MSY

http://www.empireit.com.au/index.php

CPL Notting Hill: Been around a while, car parking can be a bitch and usually takes 5-10mins to get what you want, prices are decent

http://www.cpl.net.au/

ok just compared a couple of prices from msy to empire, seems empire is a bit cheaper now.

What's an MSY, will it make my car make that cool BOV flutter that sik VLs make?

On a more serious note, im after a cheap 1GB Mp3 player, needs to be small and be able to be recharged NOT using USB (going overseas and wont have a computer).

Any suggestions?

[saff_cossie]

MSY is a computer type store.

To be honest if you are going overseas travelling, don't bother with a portable music player. I travel a fair bit both alone and with my g/f and dont use one despite having bought a few over the years. I started out with a portable CD Player, then a Mini Disc, then a 128MB MP3 player and now an iPod mini. All bought for different times of travelling and barely used. They were most useful on my bike though for training.

I gave that recommendation to my g/f's brother but he still bought an iPod and it came back from 6 weeks in the US unused.

If you are travelling around you will miss too much with tunes on and it also pays to be aware of your surroundings.

Having said all that, if you want one for a commute somewhere like a train or you think you will use one while travelling there are a couple.

The majority that I have seen are charging via USB though including the revised iPod mini.

The iPod Shuffle is 1GB but doesnt allow you to choose the order of your songs (as the title suggests!) RRP $198.99

There is a Samsung YPC1DZ 1GB which comes in different colours and has an RRP of $328.90 which seems too steep to me. This has an estimated playback of 42 hours from 1 AA battery so you wouldnt need to recharge it and if so an AA battery would be easier to buy

If you are dead set on getting one I would also suggest a bigger one than a 1GB as $ for $ they work out expensive.

If you need any other help let me know.

Thanks, i was thinking real cheap of ebay, dont really care if it doesnt last too long if its under $150 bucks.

Thinking of maybe this one: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...5792487585&rd=1

Im off to Aspen i think working for 4 months, mainly thinking of using it on flights/trains/busses etc, also maybe when snowboarding etc. I know i probably wont use it as much as i think, but i think ill go crazy if i have to spend 4 months without listening to the music i like.

[saff_cossie]

I thought that one in your link was the Benq one but I am not sure now as it doesnt seem to be branded.

Sony do one for about $200 or just under with a 70 hour battery life and about 700 song capacity.

Trains you probably would use one on. Most places will have access to common types of music so unless you listen to stuff that isnt on the radio or people are not likely to have in their collection over there, you won't be without it.

The other thing to remember is from experience, people dont come and talk to you as freely if you have something like that. Being away is about meeting people as well.

As a seller of these things, I would advise against it but it is your call.

Aspen would be awesome and is one of the places I would love to go.

Swap meets for me.

I like the atmosphere!

(Or just register an ABN and get a few good supplier accounts at Synnex, Altech, MMT etc.)
