Title: Dynamism Sl-c1000 For $339 Usd

I picked one of these up, and it was mint in the package and has been working like a treat.  I got a spare world voltage AC adaptor and everything came to $400 including shipping, which took _two days_ to get to me.

They were very good to me.  It even got stopped at the border and I got a couple of phone calls, but it was cleared up in no time flat and rushed to me.  Fedex even redirected the shipment to my work so I could get it sooner.  =)

I was wondering if anyone had opened up a C1000, and how it resembles or differs from my C3000?  I just got my Seagate 8 Gb CF disk today (what a marvel!) and it occurred to me, if it was the same inside, if maybe one could buy a C1000, stick a hf hard disk into it, and get a C3000 out of it?

Or am I just dreaming?

This is absolutely impossible.  The C1000 is missing critical hardware for the internal storage.

Other than that, I am told that the C1000 and 3100 are about the same inside.

There's a better deal out there?  Oh well.. at least I got mine quickly, and there is a nice warranty.  =)

Yeah, I heard that C1000 do not have the entire CF connectors and shieldings. But maybe that can be soldered on?

I got my Akita for around $346 incl shipping and usb host connector. Granted, I reused the EA-70 charger from my Collie. In any case, multi-voltage chargers is like MacDonalds around where I live ... you cannot fail to get one!  Matter of fact, I do have one that I used for my Diamond Mako ... so that doubles as a spare charger at home.

this topic has been done to death. I can upgrade your C1000 to a C3200 for US$400 if you wish.

1) take in C1000
2) buy C3200
3) send back C3200 as upgrade unit
4) sell C1000
5) profit!

Kaneda,

How long did it take for you to get your C1000 and how was the service from geekstuff4u?  I assume they also offer a 1 year warranty if you ship the unit back to them, don't they?  

I'm about to pull the trigger on a C1000 either from geekstuff4u or Conics.  Conics is a bit higher, but the price includes a usb host cable and 2nd North American power adapter.

Thanks
