C3 or Epia case badges... is Mini-ITX in the UK the only place?

I'd be intrested too, I was considering getting one from Mini-ITX.com, but lack of credit card/paypal (only have Switch, which they don't seem to take) means I can't order from them...

Yeah, though they are a UK based
site, they insist on using Paypal
which doesn't accept Switch or any other
UK based card but intead allows a
variety of US based cards to be used to pay.
As a result my Epia 800 came from Ebuyer.com
and my 9000 will come direct from the trade suppliers
(who take switch)
I refuse to bow to the credit society, switch
ensures I only spend what I have, although
I hear some banks are issuing Visa cards that
are debit based rather than credit.
I may have to investigate this.

We stick a free 'VIA Eden' case badge on all the EPIA based systems we build - although we don't sell the badges on their own. I know mini-itx's reasons for using Paypal....
Just as we don't use CC's - I don't agree with the amount it ould cost for us to accept them on our site (around 5%) & the ridiculous conditions they expect you to sign upto...(i.e. You perform all the checks the CC Co. require & they then approve the transaction as valid. If the card later turns out to be fraudulent, we have to stand the cost!) - No thanks!
Switch is something we are seriously considering though. Cheap & quick, with better T&C's than CC's.... Untile then we'll stick with cash & NoChex....

Well yes and at least nochex
supports Switch, delta etc.
At the time I bought my 800 I was a bit wary
about paying with them as well, so that's why
I didn't buy from you.
(although I did need to buy a lot of other hardware from ebuyer at the same time)

NEWS FLASH! Forum terrorists have attempted a thread hijack. Countermessures are being deployed...
so ultim8pc has them but does not sell them and mini-itx sells them, but does anyone else sell them?

Switch rules! Well, Mini-ITX do claim to be the only place in the UK to sell the badges  |
