    Bear in mind when you get 30 posts on here you can get free shipping from scan to save you a tenner!
    Thanks. I've changed my wireless card to the one you recommended.

    Are you sure it's 30 posts? I've tried to apply here: https://secure.scan.co.uk/myaccount/...eecarriage.asp but it says that my HEXUS postcount is currently too low.

    IIRC it updates your post count at midnight every 24 hours - so you would have needed enough posts at midnight last night for it to work now. It should register your post count tonight and you'll be fine to apply for free delivery tomorrow. Might be worth asking in the scan help section if you cant get it working by tomorrow though.

    If you are buying most parts from scan then it may be best to wait for a good 'Today Only' anyway - you can usually save a fair few quid that way...weekend Today Only's are usually best.
