Where do you get your pc bits from?

[lukes123]

When you build a computer you might decide to get computer components from Car-Boot sales, waste and recycling centres or off Freecycle (a free giving away scheme where no money is invloved. www.freecycle.org). Or you might go to a computer shop, a website to buy them. Tell us where you get them.

I guess you mean freecycle.org? I've update the URL for you

The UK site is : http://www.uk.freecycle.org/

Aria and Microdirect are very close by for me, so I normally pop in and pick up one-off items - or I'll use Misco/Crucial/Komplett online.

For me its good old OCUK for pc parts. Wouldn't use anyone else if i could help it. 100% record with them for me.

I use www.maplin.co.uk for most things and i'm a fan of their "white box" components. Most are unbranded but still of a high quality and they dont come with drivers but it's easy to get most off the net. I also use www.novatech.co.uk and www.dabs.com for work.

I do find that freecycle.org are OK for some stuff, but in my view not for PC parts

I agree
The "white box" stuff is cheap & sometimes they do have good in-store reductions
I also use a small pc shop near my parents who is fine for the smaller stuff.
