Ordering computer hardware online: what site do people here like?

    Looking to buy myself a new PC and having only recently moved to Dublin from Germany I'm not familiar with the websites you'd use for that kinda thing over here. In .de it was always hardwareversand.de or mix-computer.de or just "go to geizhals.at and figure out what's the cheapest retailer for what you need". Those kinda fail me here since a) delivery tends to be prohibitively expensive and b) if I wanna go down the financing route (which I'll probably have to), most German websites only offer that for purchases from Germany.

    So having had a first look around I think overclockers.co.uk might be looking good. Prices are reasonable, delivery for 14 GBP looks almost too cheap for a full desktop, and they do have a few nice looking financing options as well.

    Any other suggestions?

    Komplett.ie & Dabs.ie are both good places for computer hardware and associated bits and pieces.
    Elara.ie are not bad also if you can find the right bargain on their site.

    Never had any trouble with either in the years I have used both.

    Dabs for anything meaty. Komplett is occasionally cheaper for small stuff like blank DVDs, but rarely for the weightier items like printers, monitors, or PCs.

    We use hardwareversand.de too :D

    Great site and a flat rate of €30 delivery to Ireland regardless of the order size(Within reason)
