Equiv. of Newegg in UK

[PHPManiac]

Hello,
Well, the only reason that I regret living in UK is that newegg doesn't ship here. I am currently lookin for an equivilent of it that ships to UK. Tried overclockers and ebuyer but they're a tad bit expensive than newegg.
Please share any good site that ships to UK.
Thanks,
pM

You're not going to find a UK seller that can match newegg: UK taxes and market size simply don't allow it.

Across the board, for general hardware, ebuyer prices tend to be very competitive with the rest of the UK market. Overclockers, MicroDirect, Komplett, Saverstore, Dabs etc are worth checking for prices, particularly for hot deals on their weekly discount sales.

Will check them out mate.
I checked the PriceGuideNetwork.com , they seem pretty decent. They ship internationally too. So I might give them a go. Shipping is kind of expensive but oh well.
Thanks,
pM

Priceguidenetwork do not seem that cheap. I recently bought 2 Samsung T166 500 Gig drives in the UK. The price in the shop over the counter was about £61 each. On PriceGuideNetwork the price is $163, see:

http://www.priceguidenetwork.c...-cache-bare-drive.html

I had a look at some motherboards, and yes their prices were cheaper (assume $2 = 1£) but not by much. Remember you may endup having to pay import duty and VAT if you import them. I think this, and the international shipping would make it more expensive.

Personaly I have used Ebuyer, and Overclockers and found them OK. Tried to order from Dabs and found them totaly crap, Komplett are usualy expensive. Not tried savastore or microdirect.

The firm I use localy is Eclipse Computers, see:

http://www.eclipsecomputers.com

I also use a firm called Ballicom, but you may need to register with them first. See:

http://www.ballicom.co.uk

Ballicom are good for networking kit. Compare Ballicom to Dabs for the same item:

Ballicom: http://www.ballicom.co.uk/prod...133a4c46e8ef32e5cc70be

Dabs: http://www.dabs.com/productvie...igationKey=11175,50520

Eclipse and Ballicom are just 2 suppliers I know of in Coventry and they are relatively cheap. Eclipse are about the same price as Ebuyer, more expensive for some things less expensive for others.
