Very good articles and tutorials on hardware and how to hammer it together (as well as a US-shop): http://www.tomshardware.com/
Here in the UK I've been buying stuff at http://www.ebuyer.com, who are generally the cheapest I've found, but use http://www.kelkoo.co.uk for price-comparison, once you know which components.
A PC-builder as in your link: you don't really need others to put one together once you know which components you want. Saves money as well

hmm, US shops dont really workout, cos at the end, the shipping may cost more then the product it self
, i do have few friends over there who can buy the stuff for me, but the shipping still maybe a problem.
i will found out the shipping costs, if it works out to be not much, then i might aswell put it together my self.
thanks guys

or none at all, as was the case very recently with a hosting company I had a website on. Website went down, I phone, I email, I phone, I email, rinse & repeat. Took them seven days to get it back up. Very good business practice indeed. Fasthosts.co.uk pride themselves on their "xXxtreme Support" available 24/7 - and then a scenario where they assure me three(!!!) times on the phone that things will get fixed right away...Sami wrote:That's usually a sign of a bad business.qads wrote:yup, although they did reply to my emails quick and politely.
We all know it takes days upon days to get a reply from any respectable business via e-mail.![]()

Back to the hardware issues
might be getting some stuff from here, and get a friend of mine to put it together and then ship it to me
(hes in US).
about £600 for this stuff, inc tax and some of the shipping...which i am not sure about, wonder how much it will cost :/.

any suggestions on the hardware?
