    I'm looking to do my first watercooled pc and based around an i7 930 and hd5870. Could anyone tell me the best place to pick up watercooling bits in the uk/ireland?
    Also is there anywhere in dublin where i could walk in and pick up a i7 930 and 1366 board as looking to get the pc up and running today.

    You might be able to pick up some of the hardware in Peats if you're lucky.

    As for WC gear... unless you can successfully argue with Pixmania to sort out their website or tell their reseller PC Look to cop the **** on (the shipping fees are insane, think it might be a glitch though) then you're looking at buying from the UK specialist sites for a huge markup, or from the US specialist sites for an even bigger markup + import charges :eek: Until Pixmania sort their **** out WC in Ireland is solely reserved for the lunacy booth :(

    Thanks for the reply. I tried peats and they dont have the best selection of motherboards and you have to order a 920 if you want it from them also at a premium so no point. They have no 930's at all. Will look into a few Uk sites and see what i can do. Think would be a pain to get it from the us with import costs etc. Are the piximania charges nuts on all products or just on the watercooling as was thinking of getting a board from them as had no luck today.

    Its just certain sellers (PCLook being the main culprit!) that are whacked out like that, the core Pixmania bit, while a bit pricey for small things, is decent enough for shipping of a whole PC/build components, although again not quite as good as some places.
