any cheap pc component suppliers in the uk?

[dweeb]

The last time i made a pc was back in 1996. Things have obviously changed within this period, and im more or less lost with regard to finding a cheap component supplier in the uk. Does anyone know of any here? ive used several search engines but i tend to get a good deal on onething and then bad deals on others... seems to be more trouble at the moment then its worth compaired to buying a premade system. Any links to these places would be appreciated - youd be saving me alot of trouble.

I don't know about particularly cheap, but I usually shop from these:

<A HREF="http://www.overclockers.co.uk" target="_new">http://www.overclockers.co.uk</A>
They're all fairly decent. Overclock<b>ers</b> tends to be a little more expensive, so I generally only use them if I'm after something specific which I can't easily find elsewhere.

It's extremely difficult to match someone like DELL on price, if you just look at the basic specs (especially if you include software), but the systems I build tend to use much better enthusiast parts... So they overclock much better

Out of all those it looks like dabs has the best prices.

They vary. Always wise to look around of course.

Often I'm after a specific thing, and it's not available on one of them. For instance, Dabs don't have XP mobile chips.
