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.

If you can get them to deliver to Austria, DABS has a decent reputation.

AFAIK, the largest Austrian shop is Birg, but I think that´s rather more expensive than what you had in mind. I´ll be back later with a few links - you see, I always get a friend to do this stuff for me, so I gotta ask first :wink:

Here’s the Maplin website.

Thanks for the responses.

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.
