Ebuyer.

 

[McBunny]

forgot bout ebuyer shame you cant collect from them

 

[Nigel]

We get most of our IT stuff from them and I use them for home items. Never had a problem and the returns service is great in my experience.

 

[McBunny]

I'm in the same boat. Not sure why they're different prices. I assume because the supply of the black cases is short due to it being more popular. For the price difference though you could get the silver version, disassemble and spray with black plasticote maybe??

After a load of searching, Ebuyer seems to be the cheapest if you're looking to build a system. Certain components might be cheaper elsewhere, but then you'd have to take into account multiple shipping charges.

Or, join OC UK forums and post enough to get the free shipping benefit...

 

[McBunny]

how many posts is it ?

 

[Has]

I think there are restrictions on how long youve had an account and how many posts obv.

I should join up and use it tbh!

 

[Ads_172]

Yeah, I'm not sure but it's something like 3 months member and 100 posts, or 12 months and 50... or something similar.

Novatech.co.uk are a good one, u can collect too.

i built a system buying the bits from ebuyer, the only thing i didnt get from them was RAM, which i got direct from Crucial (same price)
