After my failings with RAM and my computer being gay, I need to know a few UK sites that sell components so I can build a pretty good rig. Any suggestions are welcome, cheers.
Personally I use Overclockers and Kustom PC to get my parts. Compare each site for what you want though as the prices do differ quite a bit depending on what you want. Normally next day delivery as well which is good if you can't be bothered to wait.

As well as overclockers, try www.cclcomputers.com - based in Bradford and pretty good.
Having just looked for the new g80 series graphics cards, www.scan.co.uk seem to be quite cheap.
Also look at www.savastore.co.uk and www.vadim.co.uk

www.scan.co.uk are the best!!!! I get all my shit from there, cheap and very fast delivery.
OK these are all great, now Im probably going to sell the rig Im using now, so there are a few things Id like to know:
1) How much should I sell it for - AMD X2 4400
1gb ram
Ati x850 256mb
229GB HD
Its about 1 year old, maybe more built by MESH.
2) When it comes to it how do I do a fresh install of XP and get rid of everything on the HD.
3) Is eBay worth me putting it on there?
Thnaks very much guys, I know Im being an idiot but HELP!

Your x2 4400 sells for about 150 new but they are in very short supply...so chance your arm lol
you 1 gb try ebay expect about 25
the X850 is still a very good card....try ebay again or see if someone on here wants one.... approx new 150 again...
keep the HD buy an external case and use it to store mp3s on!

To reinstall windows is a piss of pish, even I can do it. Whack in your windows cd (not literally I might add) and boot up with that. It'll wipe the hard drive so if you want to keep anything like music, pictures, porn etc make sure you put it onto a mp3 player or disc etc.
I've just checked and its a x850 xt platinum edition, so thats got to be worth more hasnt it?joker3327 wrote:

ebuyer managed to deliver me the wrong product three times in a row, and when I got the right one, it was faulty. I sent it back again and they said it ahd been discontinued. great.

Havent tried ebuyer after all the horror stories. I've used eclipse computing twice with no problem. Techfever is a good service but theres more choice on eclipse-computing and even more choice on ebuyer
