Best bricks & mortar shop in/around Dublin?

flogen

Hey folks,

Sorry if this question is asked a lot but where's a good bricks and mortar shop for PC building in Dublin?

My brother is looking to put something together and it would be good to go in somewhere and have a look at what's available (and get some pointers from experts).

I'd only know of the likes of Maplins - and I'm guessing they're not particularly good in terms of selection, price or advice.

I'd imagine we'll still end up doing a lot of the buying online but just trying to get as much information as possible before he pulls the trigger.

Thanks in advance!

Elara would be first to come to mind, in Parkwest.

Thanks - didn't realise they had an actual shop.

They may not have everything in stock but helped me out when I needed a SATA power splitter in a hurry. Give them a buzz before showing up.

As above, you have to order online but you can physically collect

Just ask us regulars, we probably know more than floor staff since we're all enthusiasts.

Having asked lots of questions of various electronics stores employees over the years: Yup, that's true.
