Thinking of upgrading...soon!

Very reputable company me and many others around here have bought from them, they do sell ram look harder;) . They don't have raptors but they do have every other drive. Just if you didn't know this already the new Samsung 750GB 32MB cache drives beat raptors in performance and obviously noise and capacity too.
Edit
They actually do have raptors, look in 2.5" Solid state disks, but like I said the samsungs are better in every way.

Hmmm, just been browsing through them. They dont have the hard drives and they dont do RAM but the other stuff is slightly cheaper.

If I got the other stuff from them I would be saving €170. My only doubt would be their reputation and if I had to return a product etc

I recommend them highly they have good customer service and the delivery is actually relativley cheap. I've ordered a few bits off them without issue. They do have ram just clik the english version button to make things easire for yourself then go pc components>>ram>>ddr2>>desktop

How do you pay them?

Bank Transfer. Ive done it with them it's perfectly safe. if you have online banking with AIB its easy. BOI is a little more awkward as you have to call them,BOI, during. IF you not online you go into the bank with the details and the cash and you fill out a form. I'v done both without issue.

Yea I have online banking with AIB! Do they take long to deliver?

Ok this looks like my final spec. I will probably order it first thing Monday morning! How long do Komplett normally take to deliver?

Ati 512mb 2900 pro will be out any day, its an underclocked 2900xt but should clock as high as it. Would be nearly equivalent to 640mb 8800gts & only £170uk. Worth thinkin bout

I notice you have a smaller raptor drive! Is it worth my while getting a smaller one instead to just install vista on?

I'm gonna say just one thing:

XFX 8800GTX 570M €443
XFX 8800GTX 570M €535

No brainer much? Most other components are cheaper over there too (similar differences in GFX cards like 8800GTS, about €35 cheaper) and delivery seems to be a blanket €30.

nibble

And just to throw something else out there, the 8800GT will be out by the end of Nov. It's a 512MB/256bit card seated just below the 8800GTS 640, price should be sub 250.

Naw, I've got 2 x 36gb raptors in raid 0, have had them a while, newer spinpoints are faster & way less noisy plus theyre 2 small, 36gb (or even 2 of them) is not enough. My next purchase is a spinpoint

Ya but I want to pay via credit card rather than taking direct from my aib current account. Plus I feel more comformatable with komplett regards delievery etc. Not really sure why though!

Yea the Germans don't like credit cards apparently!

I could get half my stuff from them and half from komplett! but I would prefer to get all delivered at same time!

Definately wasn't near 66 last time I ordered, and I had a good lot of heavy stuff on the order. Anyway don't order from them they're b*******. And you'll pay 1.5% foreign currency charge if you pay by card on any non euro site too.

Cheers

Yea all the components from Komplett arrived this morning (Thurs). I ordered them on Monday at 1.30pm which is good going.

However, I ordered the case from overclockers.co.uk and it dispatched at same time but has yet to arrive.

Minus the case I paid €1650 ish for the components! Probably a little expensive but if you minus the monitor at €399 then its not too bad. I also went for a pricey case too which wasn't completely necessary!
