WEll I was wondering, as I'm getting a new build soon, I will want to get the things as cheap as possible, therefore I would Like to know where you would get your stuff from if you were getting new stuff so i can shop around and get the best deal.

Sites I allready know of:
www.dabs.com
www.ebuyer.com
www.overclockers.co.uk

any others will be apreciatable, but rememebr I am in the UK so Newegg etc is no use to me, also No Ebay please, I want to get the stuff new if possible.

I have a lits of about a dozen sites that I use, when looking for components I search on every single one of them, because an extra 10-15 minutes of price-matching can and usually does save me a good few pints!

http://www.dcs-online.biz - local store to save on postage
http://www.scan.co.uk - easily the cheapest
http://www.ebuyer.com - 2nd to scan, along with novatech .. free p&p over £50
http://www.microdirect.com
http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech - cheap, and free next day delivery on all orders
http://www.komplett.co.uk
http://www.eclipse-computers.com
http://www.yoyo-tech.co.uk
http://www.advancetec.co.uk - isn't generally cheaper but one or two products can be ridiculously cheap at times
http://www.ocuk.co.uk/
http://www.overclock.co.uk

overclockers are the best by far i have found scan is second

Never used OCUK, as scans customer service is second-to-none.

I'm not really tempted to use OCUK either, as scan always comes out cheapest. Pricing up my new rig the processor is £36 cheaper from scan and the motherboard £22. Already £58 cheaper, and that's only two components.

when I try www.ocuk.co.uk it comes up with the message "This IP address cannot be used for browsing." anyone know why this is?

I have used AriaPC quite a few times and had no problems. Compared Aria to Scan for the following system; P5K Premium, E6550, 2G Corsair DDr2 800, Samsung 500G HD, Tagan 600W, Vista Home Premium and LG DVD. Aria £461.79 Scan £467.76 Then tried Overclockers who were already £25.32 dearer for the mobo, processor and hd so didn't continue.

Nice, just checked that out, and it is very competitively priced, however postage is £6.95 and although scan is the same, I can get free postage from scan, so for my new rig it would still be cheaper with scan.

Very nice site though mate, not heard of it before!
