Re: DDAR bulk purchase

[geraint@xxxxxxx]

Got two of my DDAR's today.

The box is 18" x 12" by 7" and weighs about 2kg.

I got 5 in the end,,,all shipped seperate, as UPS/FEDEX will charge
you customs duty. Mine came through standard US Mail,,,my old boss in
LA opened them up for me, so they were classed as "used" goods.

He put the value down as $60each, listed them as a gift with a
description of "music player".

Had no problem with customs.

Brilliant as well,,,hooked them up to a 10base hub, gave a 169 ip
address to my network card,,,and hey presto,,up and running in less
than 15mins....and they look better in real life than in pics...case
is nice aluminium and i thought they would be all plasticy...:)

My advice....well worth the effort.
