    i'd say maplins or peats. could try the dreaded PC world as well, sometimes not bad stuff in there.

    I wouldn't go to maplin without checkin out peats. sure the 2 are only 1 minute apart.And at least if you buy a few things in peats you can bargain with them, no chance of that with maplin. I always found that 95% of the time peats are cheaper and way sounder. And check out komplett.ie (see signature) there bang on

    There is a cheap place and its on the 20b route.... Its called marx-computers .... The price of some of their stuff would put peats to shame.........

    Dixons Group (PC World, Dixons, Curry's) isn't too bad when it comes to peripherals - often they have a better range than Maplins (usually better quality and quantity), although they're generally at least the same price, usually dearer. I find alot of Maplins things to be overpriced and not of great quality (in Galway at least... some of their stuff is even on sale in Lidl, allbeit at the same price).

    There's a sticky at the top of the computers section with a list of suppliers:
    Cheap computer components suppliers. PLEASE read before asking "where can I buy x". In Dublin, I'd have to recommend http://www.itdirect.ie/ on parliament Street. Cheaper than most of the aforementioned shops.

    I have to agree with that too.

    Everywhere else is a lot more expensive.

    Check the price on the web before you go into shop.
