    Bargain of the century?

    Hey all,

    Unfortunately, I already ordered mine at the full price, but if the details posted in overclockers.co.uk website's clearance section are correct and this is a Clevo M860TU, this could potentially be an amazing bargain. Assuming it comes with the standard (I think?) Geforce 9800m GTS.

    It may not do, as the details are very very sketchy, but if it does, then I hope this helps someone else pick up an amazing deal :)

    Thanks,

    Steve O

    could be possible if it was just the barebones.

    I would contact them to confirm.

    I think that would be even too low for barebone :confused:

    It does say that it is "B Grade" though, so I assume whatever the exact spec is, it is probably such a low price as it is some kind of stock that has been returned and refurbished.

    I have heard of one case of someone getting an M860TU through Novatech clearance section for around £600 previously... so you never know (though I do suspect it is probably bare bones or something).

    The link is dead and the deal is not trust worthy.

    The link has indeed changed now... though it was still working earlier this morning.

    I would disagree with the statement that the offer was not trust worthy though (incorrect perhaps, vague perhaps, untrustworthy no).

    I have already had two orders with the company which I have been very very pleased with. Very quick replies to a webnote I sent them, very quick delivery, best prices around for a lot of items and no problems with the equipment from either order so far.
