Deal Extreme: extreme suck-ass

There is this website, dealextreme.nl, which sells all kinds gadgets for low prices. I bought two SD-to-IDE addapters, so that I could put a solid state disk in my router.

The first one I tried caused the computer not to boot, crash, hang, etc. The second one I tried had the missing pin in the IDE connector in the wrong place, so you couldn’t put an IDE cable in:

Other people I know have ordered things like batteries that can only be charged once.

I’m never buying anything from that piece of shit site again.

    Wiebe,

    I’ve kind of (temporarily) fixed the image upload issue for this draft. Afterwards I have taken the liberty to hit the Publish button, thinking: “This thing has been waiting in the queue since October 10; it must be growing inpatient to embarrass Deal Extreme.” I hope I didn’t think wrong.

    Another liberty I took is adding a nofollow attribute to the link. We don’t want to leak any of our precious PageRank to them, do we?

    Excellent.
