    The 305w psu in my dell just died, so I want to replace it. Problem is, there is such a bad/unusable selection of PSUs in Peats/Maplins/Pc World. I'd prefer to get it online, so are there any EU sites that are good for parts?
    Anyone ever used komplett.ie?

    They seem ok and all, but elara.ie seems to have a bigger selection. I think I might go with this from them. I dunno though...

    Komplett is excellent but their prces dont seem as competitive as they used to be... also have a look at www.hardwareversand.de but they dont take credit card

    I get a lot of stuff from http://www.elara.ie/ Cheap, fast and they take laser. 9.00eur courier del. Im waiting for components from http://www2.hardwareversand.de/home.jsp?lid=2
    Excellent prices and its easy to bank transfer the money. Ordered tue, parts shipped thurs. I saved 130eur compared to Irish sites on a mobo, hard drive and dvd burner:D

    I used Komplett and had no problems, but it was a couple of years ago.

    Pixmania are actually decent and I've been using them quite often lately. They stock a lot of low end stuff, but offer decent stuff at reasonable prices too. I picked up a JeanTech Arctic 600w sli/crossfire modular psu for 50 euro...

    I'm speccing up a build for a friend and a couple of components for myself, ebuyer.com seems to be the cheapest.

    Elara are great, especially if you can collect from their depot!! Never had a problem with them.

    Wow, thanks for all the replys:). I went with elara, for convenience's sake, but now at least I know that there are some decent online choices for Irish pc users, to break the Peats/Maplins/PC World dominance in Dublin...

    I like Elara a lot, but I wish they had more variety in some of their components. My current rig is comprising components bought from Elara and HardwareVersand, but kept missing the E8400 in both, so ended up buying that from Kustom PCs.
