Converts to $48 us dollars including postBargain - that's like seventeen pence in real money.

Thanx for fast reply - on lovers pc now
@Manker - excellent thanks (except for the rupees bit :lol:) been looking for what the "true " prices of these bloody mortal adapters are.

@Grip - i will definetly search the city for second hand versions - but those pc shops...if they have a second handone will definetly try to make you bleed for it - so i will probably have to do some sneaky sidemanouver technique - tell them i need something else etc
inside a laptop is a tight as a....

[Gripper]

D'you think its kosher

[Santa]

@manker - on my adapter it says 20V and 4.7A
will a 20V and 3.5A work?

whats the most important the Volt or the Ampers? eg 19V + 4.5A would be better than 20V + 3.5A???

[Mr. Mulder]

a side panels usually off or the whole thing is usually in pieces, dust never has enough time to settle :snooty:

[crysmileyguy!]

i havnt cleared out my pc since i moved it in to a new case, in the old case i found parts of a moth and loads of dust...

i must clear out my pc tho i put some bits of paper in the top case fan and i never saw them again :cry:

[manker]

Moth killer!!1

No no no ,I meant the insides,not the harddrives:lol:
whenever i open it i get as much dust as i can out :dabs:

[Santa]

To Manker & Grippz - the correct answer to the Amperage & Voltage issue is

Make sure that the Voltage is exactly the same and that the Amperage is the same or higher than specified.

[FLipSTyLeZ]

I think it depends on the positions of the fan, which causes dust to accumulate. Anyway, I clean mine whenever i upgrade my computer, which is every 6 months or so =P

[Gripper]

Next time you clean it send all the old bits to me,thanks:)
