Buying computer components

[Zoney]

Am in the UK, there is a computer shop in my town, my question is where they buy there components from and how much cheaper are they compared to the retail price.

Would it just be a computer wholesaler they buy from.

t would vary but most likely yes i would assume a computer wholesaler.

The cheapest prcies your average consumer are likely to find are going to be on Ebuyer.com and Aria.net or Aria.co.uk i can't remember which it is?

Probably buy from the wholesaler, or depending on their size / what they offer, may buy in bulk from internet / direct from business suppliers.

Ebuyer.com is one of the cheapest agreed. Also try overclockers.co.uk, and scan.co.uk.

Your going to be paying more for general shops like PC worl / Currys etc. Although the lower end systems, they can crank out for cheap (The ones including monitor OS system etc for £300) but as you move up the quality bracket, they generally add a fair bit ontop. Best browsing the deals, especially 'buy of the week' 'buy of the day' etc, to pick up things at good prices.
