Dabs.ie Closed?

SD_DRACULA

Tried to check out the dabs.ie site the other day and looks like they've closed shop.
What other dabs like sites are out there from an Irish perspective?
Hope it's not time to get back to Komplett only.

I just bought a new build from Scan. Only a few euro dearer than the Europeans but I got it super fast (2 day delivery).

You shouldn't limit yourself to Irish website domains, most of them aren't actually based here. Dabs, for example, was a UK operation, Komplett is Dutch I think. Elara are based here, but their prices are usually terrible.

I use Overclockers mostly, prices are just OK, sometimes good, but their customer service is excellent.

Yeah used them in the past when the euro used to be worth something.
Same with amazon.co.uk but lately amazon.de seem to have better prices for some parts.

Another longitme Overclockers customer here. Pricing as above is meh, but customer service is top notch. Few RMA procedures I had to go through were absolutely painless.

I'm a big fan of Amazon also.

I'm picking up a new GPU and Monitor when I finalise a decision once AMD stuff arrives onto market, but it will likely be bought from Overclockers or Amazon

Dabs4business is still operating. I have ordered stuff off them. Dispatched Thursday arrived Monday with UPS

Overclockers and Amazon UK have been my go to sites for both price, choice of items and service for the last few years.

I have no idea how Elara are still in business! Seriously, who the fcuk buys from them, their prices have always been insane :eek:

Bit hit and miss with Elara. They can sometimes be cheaper than Dabs, Amazon etc. Items over €50 should have free P&P. Sometimes it's the P&P that puts you off.

Speaking from usage of UK retailers as I'm in the UK; overclockers are poor on price equivalence. Almost everything they carry can be bought cheaper from scan, amazon, etc. I've found that Overclockers "sale" items to be consistently "normal" price elsewhere as well.

I bought a few pieces from them and they seemed reasonable. I shopped around and was constantly on PC part picker as well.
