Seeking Drama-free Supplier of Refurbished ex-UK comps
by Timothy Mutugi 23 Mar '11

23 Mar '11

Greetings Skunksville residents, Apparently, my current supplier of ex-UK computers (i.e. Intex @ World Business Centre) has gone underground due to some unpaid loans and so the place is locked for "refurbishment". I had some deposit with the lady there and so if anyone knows there whereabouts please share with me...their numbers are mteja and there are some suspicious jamaas hanging around the premises... In the meantime I urgently need to buy some more Ex-UK comps and the specs are as follows: 256 / 1.8 / 20gb / 15" black CRT / Compaq/ keyboard / Mouse / CD-rom Assist urgently. I need 5 pieces for now. Timo
