BOOM Another one bites the dust

I wanted a SFF system with enough capability to run Roblox shaders, whatever they might be.

“I has to have a dedicated Nvidia card, not that on-board shit” said my mild mannered youngest.

I poke around BoX, a few Lenovos but nothing that sways me.
Ebuyer, similar…

How about CCL, youngest Son is pleased with his from CCL… Oh Dear

CCL bought BoX and the whole thing went BanG!

The computer sales market had slim-to-none margins as it was, and with Trump’s delusional tariff policies affecting any U.S. customer sales from other countries, companies the world-over are struggling more than they planned for.

CCL are still shipping stuff, ordered Sunday and delivered today :eek:

Not all of it mind, Windows-11 has not arrived and has vanished from the invoice…

Also the HDD didn’t turn up, mostly because I neglected to actually add one to the order but fairly sure I have something suitable to bridge that gap.

When you order a mATX board and a mATX case there should be a reasonable chance of the bloody things just snugging up together and being useful ?

Bigger case ordered now.
Bastards, ALL of them I tell you.

New case ordered and deployed :white_check_mark:

Fits in the available room space :white_check_mark:

Roblox now apparently RIPS! :white_check_mark:

ebuyers landlord have reportedly filed a winding up petition against them

another one could be going

DT.

They are still trading though how long for is unknown, they may be dropping their margins too much to make profit.

Exhibit A : 1Tb Kingston SSD from Ebuyer was almost half the price Mr Memory wanted for the same item.

Strange times; seems like the market has gone to amazon; they rest just can not compeat on price / volume
