WC’ing components sites

[catkicker]

After quite a few years away from building computers with WC’ing. I was wondering which online retailers for parts are the best to shop at?

used to use Frozen CPU and Performance PC.

how long has it been, you ask

well the last time  I did a build I used Danger Den blocks on my 8800 ultras

This monster has been in the closet to long. Should be a great project.

Ooooohh 'Love a restoration Build.

I actually use Amazon pretty much of the time. I know, it's sumitting to Satan, but the free Delivery...

 

What's the parts breakdown, out of interest?

Most of the stuff I've ordered over the past 5 years for my systems have been at Performance-PCs and directly from manufacturers (EKWB) and haven't had any issues. I know Frozen CPU shut down, but Performance-PCs is still doing pretty well IIRC.

Wow! not a watercooler myself - so can't really comment.

i recently tricked-out an old second-hand Intel system with some M.2 NVMe Drives. The board had no M.2 slots - so I installed them in the vacant PCIe slots, (it had decent on-board Graphics for Desktop work) and it sings now!
