Retailers

[WildRhino]

Does ne1 know a good retailer for parts in the UK?

I have tried about 10 today and none of then even knew about the Athlon -C. They cannot order single units in.

I am going to buy an Asus mobo when it comes out, along with the Athlon-c and DDR memory aswell as all the rest of my dream PC but I need a retailer who is reliable and competitive.

HELP

The best is Dabs.com but I don't think they do it. There must not be any good distributors in the UK.

Insight are OK in the UK too, and I agree dabs are good.
computeruniverse.net are good for Europe.
I doubt either will have these parts yet, but you can ask...

I've ha d problems with Insight. They sold me a case even though they were getting feedback on the random power supplies which got installed (I got a 150W when 250W suppoesed to be in it) it also would not accept normal sized HDDs. An IBM drive was slightly to long for it to fit in the case as was a MATX gigabyte board which was 1cm too long!

They refused to accept the return as I had dissembled the case and due tio it's design, was very difficult to put back together. They basically new they were selling a poor case and continued to do so whilst refusing returns.

All other dealing I have had with the company have been fine though but this one worries me. Simply have just designed their website. I didn't use them in the past as the old one was a chore to use but it looks better now but not up to Dabs standard.
