Walkin shop in Dublin for modding components??

HighWire

Hi there,
I've been looking online for a couple of places to get modding components.
If I could find a walk in shop that would be good.

I've read the sticky about sites, but the only ones seem to be online
I can think of to walk in are Peats or Maplins - Or PCWorld (Urgh)

Anyone know of a shop you can just walk into?

Anti

Thats about the only shops sadly, and they dont really have a great selection. The online stores will be your best bet really.

Do the Peats shops have the same selection as Peats.ie?

try HiTide.ie. You can order the stuff online then just go to the guys house and pick it up. He lives about 20 minutes outside of dublin city center on the bus, along the coast road near bull island.

Was in Maplin(Jervis St.) the other week with a shopping list of about ten things (Most were interior case lights/mods etc) and I left with three things. The rest were not in stock.
Pah.

Most of modding stuff I get comes from B&Q!

LED's I get from LS Diodes

always ring in advance and check their stock, they will usually order in specialist things for you that are in their catalogue. They'll then give you a ring when they have them. Save yourself the time and the money and order online.

komplett.ie I've used them and their prices are average I guess

I agree but I am based in Kilkenny and only commute to the capital once every two weeks or so.
It's a pity as there is a lot I like out of their catalogue(which they charge for...)

Just order online man.

To thread hijack for a moment, I'm probably going to go the watercooling method. Normally buy all my hardware from scan.co.uk, but is there a better place that will deliver to Derry that's as reliable that would be better for enthusiasts? Scan don't really cater to your everyday mentalist all that well.

Specialtech.co.uk
Just check out their prices.

Service-wise, they more than "ok". In my last order, I had some UV fluid amongst other things. One of the bottle broke while the package was in Interlink's hub and I was told the package is leaking and therefore the cannot compromise the rest of the packages and that their insurance company will contact me the next day for a refund.
At that point, I called the lads in Specialtech, told them Interlink won't deliver because of the leakage and they dispatched the same stuff again the next day, and asked from Interlink to send the damaged package back to them and they will deal with insurance

Basically when modding first took off a few years back we couldn't keep the stuff in stock, whatever we got sold and sold quickly. Within the last year or two though whenever we have gotten items, even simple things like fans and cathode's etc they seem to take an age to sell.

While you guys are a niche market, overall there simply doesn't seem to be much of a market for the mod stuff anymore.

I'd say the market is still there it's just that it has shifted to buyin more and more online because of better variety and price.
