Where can I order computer parts in Europe?

Does anyone know a few good European websites that I could use to order computer parts? I'm thinking something along the lines of newegg, or even something like pricewatch, except based in Europe.

See, I'm spending a year here in Austria, and my host brother recently brought home a computer that's totally messed up. It looks like I won't be able to simply repair it, so instead I decided to just buy some new parts and make a decent computer out of it. Problem is, I don't know where to order them from.

If I were to use the websites I normally use when building computers, I figured the price to come out to around $150, which includes a case, power supply, motherboard, processor, hsf and RAM. Do you think the price would be around that here in Europe? Of course, even if it isn't, I'd still like to know where I can get the parts. Thanks in advance.

Ive never had any problems with them.
In fact, a magazine that i have a subscription to has even complemented their service.
For example, in that same mag, one man was sent a doa mobo, and he sent it back 2 days later, he got it back with a free stick of memory. I`d hardly call that bad.

Not sure about places outside of UK if these UK places deliver to there without ridiculous charges, but :
dabs.com
ebuyer.com
komplett.co.uk
overclockers.co.uk
overclock.co.uk
techheads.co.uk / coolingshop.co.uk

presumably looking at Austrian and German sites is best bet?

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I hope if I buy from some of those stores that shipping won't be too much.

I'm currently in Austria as a part of exchange program my high school has with the Gymnasium here. A sort of study abroad thing. 6 came from America to Austria, and I'm not sure how many Austrians went over there, maybe about 10? We stay with host families and... yeah, go to school. Every once and a while we travel around Europe and visit famous places. We've been to Paris and we'll see Rome at easter.

Just in case anyone's in a similar situation as me and wants to order things in Austria, check out the website www.geizhals.at.
It's pretty much the same idea as pricewatch and resellerratings put into one. There are also customer reviews of the product you're buying. Really great site.

There's got to be something like this for the UK, I get so fed up with not having a Pricewatch-style scheme for us over here, and no seller / reseller ratings etc.

Anyone know of anything just for the UK?
