I was just looking through some shops at different computer parts and noticed the price of computer Hard Drives has gone up between 200-300% pretty much across the board. Little bit of reading and I found it was due to the flooding in Thailand.
As I'd not seen it mentioned in the mainstream media I thought I'd put a warning here in case people didnt realise how inflated the price of them and likely associated products (like laptops, digital video records) were when doing any christmas shopping.
I guess they'll all be trying to get the manufacturing going again before christmas but some (like Western Digital) have already said they'll struggle till next year.
Cheers,

They do here the same before the holiday seasons. But when no one buys, we see signs like 70% off  |
