Approved PC accs. Retailer List

Retailer Reference List for PC Accessories

Well, the same questions have been coming up week after week, so i've decided to create a retailer list. Hopefully this will cut down on the repetitive 'where can I get xxx' questions....

Need to find XXX part at XXX retailer, but XXX is out of stock? use the list! Very Happy

Now i may have left out some retailers, so feel free to ad to the list..

Hope this becomes a Sticky.

 

ADD to the list if you want.

 

Here is a site that claims to rate retailers (primarily for proper service) based on reader input.
http://www.resellerratings.com/

 

ya thats a good site for knowing and trusting sites.

 

MOBO, some good reference stuff. Doing "searches" does not always reveal sub-catagories or the latest additions. You have some good starting points.

I will see if I can come up with some more AU sites.

The Poms (Limeys? ) have some great info/data sites. Hope they have some hardware sites to throw in.

This stuff should be handy to find particular pieces of hardware or for a price comparison.

Thanks
Matt

 

A few of the Au sites I have used:

I have purchased parts and systems at Techbuy (in the list). You can get a 3 year warranty on a full system. Quite helpful. Run a tech forum.

www.cworld.com.au Good prices. Sales oriented.

www.arc.com.au Good prices. Sales oriented.

www.programmersparadise.com.au Large range of parts.

www.auspcmarket.com.au Online sales. Haven't used them. Good range, but compare prices.

Recommended to me:
www.cougar.com.au

Any comments/thought about "Partspc.com" ? Does anyone here have experience with purchases through them?

Thanks!

I've never bought anything from them myself so I can't really say one way or the other. You can look at this page and see what you think. Scroll down the page and you can read reviews from people who've bought things from them. You can compare their ratings with companies like Newegg, Crutchfield, and Monarch Computers, all of which I have done buisness with and have always been completely satisfied, and see what you think. From what I see in the reviews about this company I would probably tend to shy away from them. You have to keep in mind when you read these though, that every company is going to have an unhappy customer or two. Those that report they're unhappy may be justified and then again they might not. You only get one side of the story with these reviews so you have to keep that in mind. You'll have to be the judge.
