When you load the page http://www.excitostore.com/sv/store/excito-b3-med-wifi the price "SEK796 inkl. moms" but then, after about a second, the proce changes to "SEK995 inkl. moms"

Which is the correct info?

I guess 796 is without VAT, so without moms, and 995 is with VAT, considering VAT in sweden is 25% and 796*1.25=995

Exactly, it's a really crappy javascript-VAT-calculating-hack, sorry about that. It's the price that shows after a second or two that is valid.

Hello

Is 2,5 SSD disk supported on the B3? If so, is there a bracket for a 2,5 hard drive included which enables it to be connected to the connectors on the motherboard?
I have a B2 where it is only possible to install a 3,5 hard drive.

sincerely,
johannes

Is it possible to see the picture of how you installed a 2.5 hard drive?
I already have a B3, but would like to have an SSD in it. Do you sell a bracket so it can be done, or is it necessary to buy the new B3 without hard drive?

it depends on how old your B3 is, but you can check yourself (only the first batch - really old B3's - did not have this option, so you probably do). You don't need a bracket, just open up the B3 and remove the motherboard. Then connect the 2,5" disk to the SATA connector, directly on the board. YOu will then see an extra hole in the motherboard, aligning with one of the screw holes in the 2.5" disk, near the edge of the motherboard. Use a short M3 screw (which usually comes with when you buy the SSD) to fasten the drive directly to the motherboard. Re-assemble the motherboard into the case, install the drive as usual, all done!

See the attached picture. If you have the double hole (see arrow) you are fine.
