Not sure if they stock the one you mention, but I have found them most helpful in the computer shop in CYPRUS MALL next to Ikea on the upper level.

Try Trace computer in Lefkosa and i am sure they will be able to help you. I have one of their workers here doing some work on my computer now and he said they can supply what you want.

To get to the shop from Girne go over the mountain to the big roundabout, go straight over as if you was going to the hospital. Once you have gone past the hospital at the roundabout you need to take the 3rd exit follow the road down and Trace is on the right hand side.

I can only speak as i find, they built my computer 6 years ago and have updated it many times, nothing is too much trouble for them.

Google PC World and the price difference might make sense to take a weekend return back to the UK.

Richard what happens when you get stopped coming in through customs and end up paying the duty, then in 6 months something goes wrong with it, no guarantee unless you take it back to UK for repair.

You might pay a bit more buying here but at least you will have peace of mind that you are covered.
