Bricks and Mortor Shop Dublin MOBO

pcuser

Is there any shops in Dublin that sell Motherboards at a reasonable price? I need to pick up one as soon as with a 1150 socket. I dont mind a reasonable amount more than online prices.

Motherboards and Cpu's stores in Ireland are generally very poor for, if you need to source one locally you could try adverts/gumtree etc and get a second hand one or maybe from a reseller on one of them sites?

Thanks for the reply, Im not going myself but the Wife is. I was hoping there was a store where she could just walk in and buy it. Elara take 1 day before you can collect the order and they are closed today.

You could try komplett, I've bought from them before and every once in a while they have something stored in the local warehouse then you can collect it the same day. I haven't used them in ages so I'm not sure if its still the same though.
Edit:
You could also try this crowd but I'm guessing the prices are a bit out of date so will be expensive:

Something tells me they would not have a lot of stock. So you order off them and they then order it in for you and sell to make a small profit.

Maybe I am wrong but I never heard of them and you would be very foolish to buy and stock hundreds of PC components when the market is so small in Ireland and considering you can buy online cheaper.

It would seem so I looked at the MOBOS on the website and its available online only. I tried ringing the number but no answer, Prob dont work Bank Holidays.

http://www.eurieka.ie/ Seem to have a collection service, Il give them a ring in the morning and see if it can be collected the same day, Thanks Everyone

Pretty sure it's the same setup as Elara; buy it, and you can collect it the next day.

pcuser

Yes just spotted that 24 to 48 hours

It looks like there is no where to buy in store, Does anyone know which Irish Company would have the quickest delivery?

K.O.Kiki

Ireland is just too small for a niche PC parts company to thrive.

I'd buy from UK or mainland Europe tbh.

I'd go with Elara if you needed it quickly. Order it very early tomorrow.

OP have you looked at Amazon.co.uk for mobo + next day delivery? It should still cost less than buying from an Irish brick and mortar.

I have Venom, Very reasonable from Amazon, Only £8 for speedy delivery and the mobo is €40 cheaper.

Just ensure it's in the UK/nearby; seeing a few chinese chancers when I went looking for parts myself in the past.
