We've been busy this week adding new features - 2 in 2 days!

<a href="prices.php">Price Search Engine</a>

Compare prices for computing products in the UK, it’s basically an automatic way to check round for the best prices in large online retailers.

<a href="toplist.php">Top 50 List</a>

Webmasters of computing related sites can add a link to their site, and paste "voting code" on to theirs. It’s a great way to find the best computing sites around!

At last ... UK price search.

Just been playing with it ... I'm bankrupt. :spin:

 
I'm not grouchy by nature, it takes constant effort.

Every day I beat my own previous record for number of consecutive days I've stayed alive.

I have not come across anyone who goes bankrupt just checking prices

Don't compare them to Singapore, instead of going bankrupt you will be depressed!

Well if you are really interested, take a look at the website listed below. Here the prices are updated on weekly basis for all the shops in Sim Lim Centre (the largest complex selling only computer stuff)

As a matter of fact this website is a very good source of information as well. I expect you to take a good look around and see for yourself the current trends/latest hardware. If you think its worthwile than you can plan a trip there.

Have fun

Prices in Singapore

That does seem good prices ... but beware of "Import Duty" you could get a nasty £68 TAX Bill. :angry:

This has happened to me, though not from Singapore but the US.

Quad I was pricing my next 'dream machine' and I err, went a little over budget.

I used to live in S'pore and got my geforce 2 for $200 which is like 70 pounds which was amazing then. It's real! Everything is sooo cheap there because it's all made there or in malaysia. I know my geforce 2 was made in singapore which is why i got it so cheap. But i wouldn't buy any pirated stuff there because they used to have frequent police raids and you could get fined a hell of a lot for just being in a certain shop while they raided.
