well my tt Blue ORB 2 came in today, http://www.canadacomputers.com/index.php?do=ShowProduct&cmd=pd&pid=008595&cid=FN.349 to replace my coolermaster r80 water cooler, and i must say theis blue orb 2 keeps my cpu pretty dam cool, and now my pc is as quiet as a mouse..the reason i took the water cooler out was because i could not find a sutible place to put the radiator.

FYI : anyone thinking of getting a blue orb shuld go to directron. CHEAP CHEAP! I dont know what the difference between the 14.99 and 19.99 is. Whats that demo thing?

by the demo, i think they mean that its been on display (hence used)

Like if customers want to see how it works, they will show them using those "Demo" ones...its exactly like a normal product, just used

Thats what i reckon it is; i could be wrong

dont know how crazy i would be about buying something used like that....unles i were to lapp it before i used it myself

demo is what belongs to a 'demonstrator model'

which is the already opened package that has been on the sales room floor.

Eg - if you buy a demo car, its one of the cars from the car lot that is used frequently by customers who want to try the car out before they buy it.
So youd potentially get a used motor, a few scratches here and there, a smelly seat that some kid pissed on or a bald tyre.

Athlon2K15 · Dec 24, 2006

but would it be worth the 4 or 5 dollar difference?

ex_reven · Dec 24, 2006

imo no...

your better off going for the actual unused item for both peace of mind AND a proper warranty

lol not for the 4 or 5 dollars in this situation, but demo items CAN save a lot of money (depending on what they are)...some products, such as an entire computer, may have just been used as a demo for things like media player and internet explorer can be sold for hundreds of dollars cheaper
