Right I have two oldish computers and I want to really scrap the main components, replacing them but i can still use the floppy drives and cd rom drives, etc...

I want to know the cheapest place to find:

CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2200 +
MB: Socket A Motherboard compatible with above
HDD: 80GB IDE HDD
GFX: 128/256MB GFX Card (Radeon, GeForce, Sapphire etc...)

I hope someone can suggest somewhere.

Thanks,

SS

Yeah but what I am saying is that you go to that site and it will give you the prices and you can compare. You may think one site offers it cheap and you find out from this site that actually there £10 cheaper from most places.

This is the correct answer. Don't buy your parts at Ebuyer.

I would say Overclockers UK. Parts from Ebuyer are quite often faulty as they buy in the cheap stock(just read the Hard Drive reviews for drives which you know are reliable!).

You have to pay to get on these things so they aren't exactly impartial. If you bought, say, the CPU from overclockers then it would be £5 cheaper than ebuyer with infinitely better customer service.
