Post by: AndrewBUD on September 29, 2012, 04:20:38 PM
With a credit card instead of with bitcoins or paypal?

Thank you!


Sorry if this is in the wrong area of the forum.

I've found plenty on ebay. Less than $4 is cheap enough for me.

yeah fleabay sucks if you need them NOW! Most sellers on fleabay is from china dn wil take 20 days to get here. I know because I have the same problem. Found a place on Amazon that has them in stock. Just ordered 5 1x and 5 16x should be here on tuesday. Considering buying a 10 pack next time. Got cards to install this coming week.

I paid around 30 usd for 8 of them. They are normal quality and work just fine for rigs.

Nice, Still about 35+ shipping for 8 of them. Won't ship to Canada... :( Stupid amazon


edit: Found a different seller, they charge a little more, but they shipped to Canada at a reasonable rate. 5 bucks shipping...

I am border to Michigan, I could have them shipped there but it's not worth the time,gas,cost of crossing the bridge.... I rather pay a couple bucks more... It would be a different story if I needed 50 of them.



Thanks though :)

I got mine from 9mart. 2 16x riser cables for $9 and free shipping. Only caveats are:

1) You don't know if they'll ship from the US warehouse or overseas.
2) QA is kind of dodgy. To their credit they did replace a defective cable with no hassle after I sent them a picture of it.

They've been running on my 6 gpu mining rig since Feb with zero problems.

a lot of places will not ship to Canada or charge an arm and a leg to ship to Canada.

I ordered some through Amazon and made an arrangement with a member.


Thanks :)

This sucks! I have some equipment on its way and cant find these damned powered risers in Canada. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I think I may have to order them from China and wait a month. I noticed they are making them with capacitors now as well.


EDIT: I found them here, these guys are out of BC. http://www.hashratestore.com/
