In acme's chair.
I checked ocuk just now, and everything seems considerably more expensive, and some hard drives are almost twice as much as they were a few months ago!

So i had a look around on the internet, and prices have sky rocketed everywhere!

What the heck is going on?

I was asked to spec a system for someone for a grand (inc periphs) and i cant get anywhere near as much for his money as i did with mine :(
 
the prices of RAM has gone down, the price of SSD's has gone up, the price of peripherals seems to have gone down, the price of HDD's and Optical drives have gone up?

i'm so confused...
 
I know HDD prices have gone up due to the flooding in Thailand, but I'm not sure about other components. I managed to find a Sapphire 6950 2GB for £200 somewhere (not ocuk), which I'd say is a considerably good price.
 
Yeah, I only know of the HDD due to flooding really.

Haven't checked anything else in a while.

I hope prices can drop a little at Xmas/January...
 
It's only really HDDs that have gone up considerably as far as I know. Memory is at an all time low, optical drives have gone up a little but other than that I don't think there's been any major changes for a while.
