Hi guys, where (online) do you all order ur mobo's, CPU's etc etc from? I am after US sites mainly, i am thinking of upgrading my PC (finally, now that i have a job) and was looking to find some bargins...UK prices are a bit steep for my liking....i ws wondering if i could have it sent over from the US for a bit less...

Newegg !!!!!

Have never had a problem with them, some of the hardware - yes, but their Customer service is GREAT!!!

newegg when i was over there...

remember that when you buy stuff in the states you have to pay mad shipping fees and you run the risk of getting nailed on import duty... i personally wouldn't take the risk... unless you happen to be out there yourself it will probably work out more expensive...

tell you what i'm going to the computer fair in bracknell on sunday if you want to come along...

I'll have to check out Excaliber.

Currently, I get my stuff from:

Newegg.com
Mwave

Depending upon availability and pricing. Usually I use Newegg simply because their pricing is better.

cheers for the info guys...i will look into it a bit more when i get a minute...Dicki as for the computer fair do u think it will be a wasted journey, as i am not actually looking to buy anything?? Mind you i guess i could come along just to have a loot around and see what the prices are like.
