computer componentry? I'm looking at building my own system and am
searching for somewhere to buy all of the parts from...
Are there web sites out there for this sort of thing? I don't want to
go to Dick Smith, Computer City etc etc...they all overcharge...
Cheers in advance!

pretty sure that you have to establish an account with them first; they
don't sell to the public. (not having actually dealt with them myself, I
couldn't say for sure)

I don't mind stores in the North Island at all...I'm just not too keen
on doing the credit card thing to the States yet...I've been looking at
www.pricewatch.com and the prices that they are offering there are WAY
under the NZ ones (after conversion etc etc of course). I'll keep
searching, but from the stores that I've looked at, and for the parts
that I want (P2B Asus Motherboard, Intel Celeron 333, 128MB RAM, Matrox
Millennium 8M AGP G200...), pivotal (www.pivotal.co.nz) seems to be the
prevailing champion...I would like to be proven wrong, but if not, I
guess that will be where I end up...I'd be really keen to do a search
engine in New Zealand for this sort of thing similar to Pricewatch in
the States...anyone got a spare couple of months?
Cheers!

I do believe you've got the best ones, you won't find any better I'm
sure.

Yep, we get a pretty raw deal here on a lot of things, could be worse
though. Like yourself, I am also not keen to do the whole US purchase
thing yet either.

I would purchase each component according to the best price from the
best retailer but it depends a lot also on freight charges.
ExpressNet, for example, charges one small flat freight fee for each
order regardless of the size of the order, other businesses may not.
Any warranties are important as well. If you can realistically mix it
up I would suggest it. Pivotal don't seem to sell many things, the
Asus board isn't listed for example, nor are Quantum Fireballs. If it
was me, I'd stick with ExpressNet because James always has everything
you are looking for, the prices are usually the best or almost the
best as you can get non-cost (bar his PII prices, seems higher
sometimes), you can get everything from the one place which is
easier...

The businesses you know of are probably the best you'll find in this
country at this time for componentry.

Hmmm, this is me writing a post while doing other things. In
corrected summary, if you can mix up where you purchase, according to
where you get the cheapest price, economically (considering freight,
etc), then do it but I would just stick with one for less hassle, in
my case I would recommend ExpressNet.
