UK PC parts source

[richlars]

This is probably a bit off topic, but I have a son living in the UK and his laptop is about ready to bite the dust. He would like to attempt a desktop build of his own. I have no clue where to look for parts. Is there a B&H, Newegg or Tiger Direct equivalent in the UK?

Thanks, Rich

Google is your Friend ... Price Runner is a good place to start

There are more like this, just Google "Build your own Laptop."

Build your own laptop

If he wants to have a Custom Build from a good UK company:

www.[B]pcspecialist[/B].co.uk/

They offer a complete design and build, to the specifications and components chosen by the customer.

I will post some links in the next hour to all the main UK sites for PC components. (pain to do on my phone )

I mainly use Novatech, Scan and Ebuyer

PC Components, Desktop PCs, Laptops, LCD TVs & Computer Hardware
Computer Hardware - Scan.co.uk
Cheap Laptops, Tablet PC, and Cheap LED TVs | Ebuyer.com

and as has been noted
Amazon.co.uk: Low Prices in Electronics, Books, Sports Equipment & more

As suggested by badcrc, Scan and Ebuyer are both great sites for PC parts.

I would also add overclockers Overclockers UK - Computer components, hardware & gaming PC and Aria Aria PC - Computer Hardware, Components, Monitors.. at lowest prices

Those are the 4 main sites I use. I have used them for years and chop and change between them to find the best price on what I am looking for.
They have all served me well for returns too.

Thank you all so much. I should have thought about him Google-ing from his laptop as it would have directed him to UK sites in the first place. But I will pass along all of your suggestions. They are much appreciated!
