UK computer retail parts suppliers

Hi,

I don't mean to step on the toes of OCUK shop who generously provide this forum for us, but as I have mentioned elsewhere I am trying to make a few upgrades to a mates system there in Pommie-land.

He's a pensioner and while I'll help out by kicking in a few $ - price is a very important consideration in this scenario.

As a new member I don't have access to the 2nd hand forum on here, so I may have to be looking at new options only (or ebay UK)

Being an Aussie I'm unfamiliar with the computer retailers over there - can anyone recommend or even just list alternate retailers so I can check prices and options on their sites please.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it.

In return I'll send you a Koala or Bindi Irwin or something.

Sorry I don't really understand your statement?

I assume he think's you're trolling.

Don't want to step on the toes of OcUK but please can I have a list of all their biggest competitors?

No links to competitors is one of the forum rules.

Have you tried calling OcUK Customer Services to see if they'll give you a list of their best competitors?
