SCAN Order Update 15th November 2009

Scan did get my order out to me only one day later than quoted, but I was not refunded the postage. Thankfully, I was able to sign for my items and it did not cause too much of a problem. The NAS' are quite good, they could do with an improvement of the users and share management, and Windows has some trouble calculating used space (because SMB emulates as NTFS and the drives are formatted using EXT2) but they do the job. I was going to buy a third, but in view of some of the minor problems I have had with the Edimax NAS, I am going to look at a QNAP NAS box. Promise I will get some pictures up soon!

 
SCAN Order and Life Update 11th November 2009

I placed an order yesterday for 2 Edimax NAS Raid servers, total order was a few quid shy of £200, I ordered some time before 11am and paid for NEXT DAY 'GUARANTEED' DELIVERY. I got a text and email alert later at gone 10pm stating that my order had been delayed due to stock shortage. I have heard nothing for 24 hours about my order, and have filed a complaint with Scan's customer service requesting some form of compensation or refund for the postal cost. I am awaiting a response from them, and will update the site when I hear back from them.

On a less grumpy note, haven't been keeping this site up to date just recently! Sorry everyone, I'll try and give some more of my time to it. I got my AS, CISCO CCNA and NVQ certificates, will soon be doing my A2 exams and handing in coursework - I've taken on the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) for Computing at the sixth form, hopefully will keep on top of it all - seems to be going ok at the moment.

Personal life, can't complain! I am making some major modifications to my home network, will soon post some pictures on the site. A while ago I mounted two of my LCD monitors to the wall to save desk space, looks quite neat - planning on mounting my third wide screen LCD diagonally in the corner of my room - will upload pictures when i'm done.

I received my certificate for Web Design, I passed at NVQ level 3 - Very happy with that! Just waiting for my official certificates for my AS subjects.

 



I love Quidco cashback
