Default Lowest Price Computer Parts!!

I just found a cool site, where you search for computer parts, and it shows you (from a selection of retailers) the lowest price. I have just designed a system for a friend, and I managed to take £300 off the £1500 price tag! Well cool!

computerprices.co.uk

Tell me what you think of it

It's a great site!

I'm just wondering how many retailers it supports? It will be great as the data base of products grows and develops

I just tried a sample product, an Athlon XP1800, and the second lowest price, inc. p & p, would have come from e-buyer, but they weren't listed.

And if your order with e-buyer had been over £100.00 excl. VAT, they actually work out cheaper as they don't charge for p & p then.

Still, all in all very good That Komplett place looks interesting.

Similarly, dabs have a small order charge of a few pounds if you spend less than £75 it is now (I think).

It's probably always worth checking out the top few when searching, plus any usual favourites not included. Still a valuable resource though!

I've brought from komplett a few times, never had any problems at all, & prices are usually good too.

Any good retailers in the US? I don't want to pay for overseas shipping... and I don't know how to convert pounds to dollars.
