WTD: CustomPC BTO ISO on CD

[Mr Meltdown]

I'm after the 700MB (Beat The Office) ISO burned to CD and sent to me in the post as I'm on a modem and anything over 100MB is just impossible.

www.custompc.co.uk or you may have it already and can just burn it to CD for me

Prefer free but may pay a couple of quid if pressed hard enough.

CHeers,

MM

Where in the UK are you? I might d/l this tonight actually. Wanting to do it, I just can never remember.

If I'm feeling generous, I could send out a CD... maybe

[Ethos]

You can't actually download it from the site though...

That sucks, it says in the Feb (received in Dec - why do they do that?) issue that it should be available on the website.

[Ethos]

Indeed, its said it in the last couple issues. Pretty annoying really....

To beat the office PC, your system must outscore it running Custom PC's own benchmarks.
To obtain a copy contact Dennis Direct on 01789 490215 or dennisdirect@dennis.co.uk - there's a small charge of £5, which covers the cost of media and postage. You can pay by Visa, Mastercard, Delta, Switch and American Express or you can send Cheque's to:
Dennis Direct PO BOX 2505 Alcester B50 4JU
payable to Dennis Direct.

Suckers!

700meg download is huge they can't possibly put it on a website.
£5 is not much to pay and would cover the cost of burning and sending the cd.

[Thorburn]

cost of cd-r, 16p-ish, cost of plastic wallet, 4p-ish, cost of envelope 2-5p, cost of stamp, 28p.
50 to 53p != £5

You forgot the payroll for the monkey sitting there reproducing all those CD's. He probably would get paid about £4-5 per hour and could do about 30 CD's an hour with a fast writer so that's another 13-16p each ;P
