Need a new computer

[Cap'n Sissyfoo]

Hi,

My old mobo fried a couple of weeks ago so I am looking at getting a replacement and new CPU. The mobo was an old, crusty piece of crap and supported a 700mhz Athlon processor.

Its been a long time since I have explored buying computer bits so I was wondering if anyone knows a good place where I can buy some really cheap, CHEAP computer bits and bobs to rebuild my back up system. I need a new mobo and new CPU. It is using one stick of 128mb RAM PC100 (I think) and it has a CD-Drive. Pretty basic really.

I am not really bothered with turning it into an uber piece of hardware that can work out Pi to the 700 gazillionth decimal place...just something that I can use as a buff bot computer and something to download MP3s/Movies/craft whilst I use my main PC for more important things.

Thanks in advance for your help.

One of the best is www.scan.co.uk

Hmm, maybe i should sell some of my bits.

Best I've found is;
www.overclockers.co.uk
www.aria.co.uk

The first has cheaper graphics cards, whilst aria has slightly cheaper processors. Both have forums allocated to each individual component, so you can see what real people think about the product.
Excellent service and next day delivery too.

Thanks for the info guys.

Alas, international terrorists hacked into my bank account and stole all my money and left nowt but an empty packet of crisps and a 'thank you' note.

Guess I will have to wait till I get more mooooney.

Will you still be needing that new rebuilt PC for a Buff Bot?

Umm...good point. I guess I don't 'need' a new computer as such...

BUT I WANT ONE!!!
