Those prices are excluding vat, when you add VAT it's going to end up cost much more and does not even have a case. I would stick with hardwareversand.0 -

They include VAT, unless mindfactory have changed things recently and now charge extra
They change prices very regularly though (several times a day) You got to order at the right time Those were the prices when I put the basket together. 0 -
Yes, you're correct. They generally beat HWVS, too, by small margins.They include VAT, unless mindfactory have changed things recently and now charge extra

Ah nice, very good value then
Yep, an i5 for 140 and decent modular psu for under 40 is great value, only hassle is finding a case.
I normally buy from hwvs though because of the expensive shipping. The price changes are really annoying too. You can put a build together then when you refresh the basket the price can go up significantly on a couple of parts. They give a notification every time in the basket though and sometimes it even goes cheaper

Grab a case on Amazon then. It'll be more expensive, but you'll get free shipping.0
