How close to Manchester do you live?

If so I could REALLY hook you up with some major deals from Bowlers.

[spongeb0b]

Depending on prices of course. PM with more details :p

[L0KI]

www.ebuyer.co.uk

www.dabs.com

These sites > all

Ebuyer is based 1 mile from me, and the f00kers still wont let me pick up my order

[Samhain]

I'd reccomend you go with a Western Digital drive instead of a Maxtor.

[darknessfairy]

Yeah i likes western digital too :p

i said that i should have entered and then he could give me the money, but he said something about it not being fair cos we're a couple etc. I found that insulting. :(

lol anyways i couldnt be bothered

[Leebzie]

I've used ebuyer for my last 2 full PC builds, and use them for anything else I need too (like my DSL router etc) generally find them reliable and cheap, and if the worst comes to the worst not fussy over returns.
