    Could you tell your guys that that's really not best the place to put one!



    Edit: Goes without saying that I apologise if it isn't (or has been moved / photochopped by the person submitting the photo!)

    Hmm... Yes... Looking at it again there's too much detail in the barcode compared to the rest of the (bloody awful) pic

    So it's a photochop... but why?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    lol - this reminds me of when there was a special guide to building a PC from aria bundled with a PC magazine and all you could see on the pictures we're the SCIL stickers on the memory

    As for that image - I'm fairly sure all our dispatch & picking team are clever enough to not put a sticker where it was located

    Actually Scan do put their labels there. I have ordered alot of stuff off them in the past for building servers. Can be a real pain tbh.

    I doubt the picture is genuine, however, on checking the SCIL number it relates to a product 2 years old !!!!

    With regards to the sticker position on memory, yes, they are put there, but overheating / cooling is not an issue as it is with CPU's.

    That's not why I posted it, although you raise a good point. My point was that Time had to buy memory for their FX boxes from Scan, kind of funny when you realise how big Time are, you'd think they'd source it direct from manufacturer.
