PC components retail shops? (Within the U.K)

Ddm5

Does anyone know of any walk in shops like Overclockers.co.uk has?, I currently live near Cardiff so driving to the actual shop would take 5 hours there and back, I'm just curious as I would love to go to one to test some monitors out, headphone, mice, you name it.

Aww'h, I guess they are mate, I've been looking into mechanical keyboards too but you can't just assume what you want with the switches if you've never pressed one before, unless I can get a switch box that includes all the switches on actual keys like CM used to?

Amazon prime it, arrive next day, quicker than driving most likely.

Not the point mate, if I really wanted it I'd just scan it and have it next day, not much of an issue with delivery and what not, it would just be nice to test different monitors and such to find one that I'd love.
