    Soory...should have added...if you don't want to buy off the web there are a couple of places in dublin city centre.....

    Peats...components upstairs..they do upgrade kits...mobo ram cpu and cooler and case...some packages can be good value...check 'em on the web at www.peats.ie

    also on parliament street (near poco loco and the turks head) is it direct....they are quite competitive too...their website is www.itdirect.ie

    Maplins have a place at the top of Jervis street beside smyth's toy shop...I have not used them but they have a lot of kit...not sure of the prices there though

    Hope these help

    peats.ie are probably the best out of the above. However if there is anyway you can get access to a credit card then komplett.ie is a far better option.

    Komplett is the best value. IT direct is probably the best value store. Forget Peats and Maplins they are between 2 and 3 times more expensive than anywhere else on most things. They also don't do it for you. Theres also a place called Dawn computers up in Goatstown. Not the cheapest either but an ok place at the same time. Alternatively get someone you know to build it for you. I'll even do it for yah for a small fee. Or show you how to do it yourself. Should only take an hour maybe two at the most. PC go together like lego really. Though you have to be careful and know what you are doing and what not to do. Otherwise Pzzzzt.
