I use Aria they are very good, cheap and efficient, next day delivery on most things in the U.K. Give em a try, you might also be able to get a business account with them and get even more money off!

What is the lightbulb for?

 

If you mean at the top of the Thread, it's just one of a few little icons available to indicate the general tone of the thread. In this case, it would most likely have been used to suggest shedding light on who we all use for a certain function.

Or that could just be cr@p ....

 

Sounds like crap!

Only messing - Just didn't know know why a light bulb popped up next to my name!

 

Make sure you never buy a memory stick / pen drive etc from pixmania.com

The 1gb was cheap so thought I would get one for my old man for his birthday. I placed the order on the 2nd November and still hasn't come.

When I spoke to them they said the driver couldn't find the huge building that I work in so sent it back to France.

Serves me right for trying to save £3!

 

Sorry, i was looking at the thread and i seem to have posted the same/almost same thing twice. If any moderator feels like removing one of my posts feel free. lol

 

Done, tris

 

I buy mainly from Ebuyer due too there competative price and selection, But sometimes I buy from Overclockers.co.uk Plenty of nice stuff there =)

 

I mostly buy from Micro-Direct, it's 20 miles away in Manchester so the drive isn't too bad. Nice(ish) prices. For me it's the only place that I know nearby that should have decent stocks of what I want or need at any particular moment.
Never used their delivery service yet, but i've heard it's ok. (I'm usually impatient and have to get it same day, so I drive)

 

Thanks Jak, i'm an idiot! I think i already broke up from work for christmas!!! lol

 

I use http://www.diskdepot.co.uk/ for most of my needs. They're pretty cheap for optical drives and blank media.

 

I can't source the components let alone factor in (sorry d- no pun intended) my time for this level of hardware!

How's it done?

 

as always ebuyer

 

I think you should shop around before seprating yourself from hard earned cash.

But...

www.ebuyer.co.uk
www.aria.co.uk
www.microdirect.co.uk
www.amazon.co.uk

a good site for reviews is //tomshardware.co.uk

I usually check out his site first before buying.

Later Andy

 

I setup a few water cooling setups so custom cooling / overclocking sites are the ones I like.

I mainly use :www.coolercases.co.uk | www.over-clock.com | www.overclockers.co.uk

 

I always use Watford Electronics or Savastore (Same place). Prices are good and they're within 3 miles of me which is helpful.

In-store service needs serious help though, even with just 2 customers in store it still took 45 minutes for me to get a 1gb memory stick. For £16 though I can't complain too much.

 

I use www.ebuyer.co.uk & www.overclockers.co.uk

Very reliable soo far

 

As was pointed out in a previous post, I'll represent for the US:

Newegg rocks!

I've been buying from them for eons, and any RMAs have flown through -- and I've had my share. Never a quibble. A little shakey when the default shipping went from FedEx to UPS -- but that's minor.

 

www.overclockers.co.uk

www.eclipse-computers.com

www.microdirect.co.uk

www.scan.co.uk

There we go, never found there was somthing i was after but couldn't find in one of those 4 websites.
