I've managed to get a price of £675 for that one. But then i had a look at an equivalent Vostro 1400 & same spec but it...

    printer help

    probably not alot of help, but with my previous (old) epson printers, if i didn't use them for quite a while then the print heads block up beyond use. no amount of cleaning would sort it, and as you have found.. it uses a shed load of ink to do. I think you can get some cleaning solution type...

    Owned a 172 cup for about 2 years (until a few days ago) I loved it. Handling was brilliant, i love the look , although the cup is nicer ;-) sorry (colour & wheels & spoiler) Brakes were really good, until they corrode & need replacing (after 14k!!!! rear & 21k Front!! appalling...) Grip, i...

    Guys in the IT industry - What laptop security?

    we use flagstone encrypted hard drives. They have their problems.. you need to remember to diable hibernation as the drives don't support it (locks up & blue screens) I've heard western digital do a similar product... if you really need to go that far that is.
