Melbourne - help me with a power cable tonight

joe_sixpack · 8th February 2011, 8:42 PM

Hey Guys

Long story short, recently moved to Melbourne - Brunswick and i'm totally over setting up stuff, buying furniture etc..

I just wanna get my PC setup but alas... I've left my power cord for my PC back in Bris. I really wanna setup my PC and kick back with some gaming tonight, if anyone near by has a spare one I would be in debt to you.

I don't mind driving out to pick it up or offer a small $$ in return for the cord.

thanks in advance, i'll be monitoring the forums every so often for the next hour or so..

If you don't get any luck here, you could try somewhere like KMart in Brunswick (Barkly Square). They will probably have an IEC lead somewhere and are open until 10pm. There's also Campbellfield, which is open 24 hours, but not all that near by.

I am 20km away with a few spare.

Or buy a yum cha kettle. They have the same cords.

thx all...

I walked down to Kmart at Barkly Square, but they didn't sell them. I checked the kettles, but they were all cordless (every single one) and didn't have seperate cords.. I even checked other cheapo appliances but nope..

So as I'm walking home in my dispair, pass a internet cafe. I pause, turn, walk inside and ask if I can buy a power cord.. boom $4.
