decent online vendors?

[old.toujours]

I recently moved here from overseas, and Im not to specific on the english prices. Anyone know of some decent sites with hardware price guides, and some reasonably priced and reliable sites to buy me junk from?

The 'high street' prices as you call em here are, well.. laughable ;0

thanks

Yes!

• Scan
• The Overclocking Store
• Dabs

Personally I always start with Scan as it's the easiest site to find things on. They do a very clear 'build yer own box' webpage as well, should you ever need it. Some peeps have complained about shoddy service but I've never had a problem in all the times I've used them.

Also, make sure to pop into our lovely Hardware Forum from time to time.

Scan are usually a bit on the expensive side. Here are some more though:

• www.simply.co.uk
• www.tekheads.co.uk
• www.novatech.co.uk

 

[Summo]

Gah! I've been screwed by Simply and Novatech before. Not literally, obviously. At least that would have been service.

Ebuyer

Pretty cheap place

Dabs
Action now owned by Insight
The Overclocking Store
TekHeads
VGI (for first-in-the-country stuff)
Jungle (yes, good deals on consumables)

 

[old.toujours]

great thanks

 

[old.?]

I can personally recommend Overclockers and Dabs. Others I am not too sure about.

PC index

found this site invaluable when i lived in the UK

 

[PR.]

Yer I like that site Munkey but I find it never has the latest prices like the GF4 is not on there yet :/

 

[old.PCG79]

and it only has a few shops.. no OCuk (mmmmmmmmmmmm Chieftec case). Of course, this all costs money. Something I havent seen in a loooooooooooooooooooong time.

And KustomPC's is ok too... they have the Crystal Orb, which I couldn't find on any other UK sites I knew of.

Oh, and Buy.com... Oh, apparently it's "evolved" into the John Lewis Computing Shop.

CCL

CCL Computers are a good site / company as well. Know a lot of people who swear by them. And they are based up north so far superior to the southern swine

www.cclcomputers.co.uk

 

[Summo]

But northern PCs require 2 tonnes of coal per hour. :/

 

[caLLous]

Ignore me, the John Lewis Computer Shop is shite.

 

[ManDevil]

Dabs & Insight

 

[Skyler]

Scan are either decent or utterly pap...

I use www.insight.com/uk/
and www.dabs.com

never had any problems with them.

 

[caLLous]

Like Summo, I've had only excellent service from Scan. I've made 4 orders in the past 3 months, and they've all been complete, well packaged and with me the next day (apart from one I ordered at 11pm one night).

 

[old.Jas]

I've heard stories about Scan but have never had a problem.

My new hard disk arrived yesterday after I ordered it on Sunday.
