try the search function, the Nitec+ appeared in several threads. I've got one as a back-up, works well. Very small display though, I wouldn't want it as a primary. Also doesn't do RGBM or anything like it.
The asking price is around $450 I believe.
It is a snazzy computer - a friend of mine has one and I've dove it and like it a LOT. When my SmartCOM got recalled, it was the second SmartCOM I had to send back to ScubaPro so I told 'em to keep it and give me store credit so I could buy a Nitek and an SPG.
The BAD part of this story is this - the WAIT!!! I did this back in mid-July. I was told by DiveRite it would be a couple of week wait. No problem. A couple of weeks pass...no Nitek. I call DiveRite again. It'll be mid August, we promise. Mid-August rolls around...beginning of September is the answer now!
First week in September...I call again. We'll have more the beginning of October!
October rolls around...I just called 'em yesterday. Mid-November!
Yah....right. If I didn't have my heart set on that computer I would have bought a different one a long time ago. They have been backordered BIG TIME on those things. If you can find an LDS that's got one, go for it. I'm glad I have a Suunto Companion as a backup, otherwise I would be out of a computer entirely.
Otherwise, this person has had several of them on eBay brand new:
eBay Link
I would have done it already, but I have store credit for my SmartCOM and not actual cash....so I can't really go through any other channels.
