Buying Cheap Hardware in London

hey hey people,

i've just recently moved from Melbourne to London, and i was wondering if anyone could recommend me some good, cheap places i could go to get me some hardware.

The only places i've seen so far have been either branded box sellers, or hideously overpriced high street computer stores.

any suggestions would be greatly welcome. i'm getting mighty sick of these cheap internet cafe pcs.


cheers

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that Tottenham Court Road is the main place to get computer gear...but you can't be sure it'll work/be legal.

Order online.

cheers to you all for that info.

i've had a look at the sites you recommended, mkaibear. that should give me plenty of scope to play with. reasonable prices and postage as well.

that really is a huge difference between here and australia. there really is no point ordering online as postage will kill you to begin with, not to mention paying the 10% GST to customs on delivery. bah.

looks like i'll have my box up and running in no time now.


thanks again to all of you who replied.

I think these guys are in London, I got a good price on my 7900GT from them: http://www.advancetec.co.uk/

Shiny gave me a good price on my PSU: http://www.shinyhardware.co.uk/

And I've gotten various components here: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/home/

But I found them all with your internet shopping pal Froogle: http://froogle.google.co.uk/

and also ebuyer.co.uk - invaluable!
