Hi,

I'm looking to upgrade my K6-2 350 & M/B to an Athlon (haha eat that Intel :p) anyway, I've looked around jungle.com but they do not do many AT M/b's. Does anyone have any good mail order / Internet companies that sell Athlons and M/b's which are AT not ATX. I would prefer to stick with the case I have now.

Peter

I suggest:
http://www.dabs.com (free delivery is very useful)
http://www.scan.co.uk (check out the today only part if you buy all u need from there it will be v. cheap. As 4 Jungle aka SWWH dont buy!!!!! I bought an Evergreen CPU which they assured would work! What a surprise it didnt! They charged me 15% even after i contacted the credit card company. MOney grabbing *******s

Scan are good especially some of their one day deals (see the "Today only" section), only downside is you cant order on-line but there very good at tracking parcels down etc.

Insight are good to and very knowledgeable, either that or I got lucky when I spoke to a sales guy when I was after a particular IBM scsi hd, most places didnt have a clue when I started talking about slim 68 pin scsi-2 connectors, there web-site does list things a few times under different reference numbers I've noticed though.

Watch out for the likes of Dabs and Simply where they quote items as "available", these aren't in stock but ship straight from the manufacturer or a 3rd party and if they go missing are a nightmare to track down, I speak from experience here :(

Scan are bloody ace - I've bought everything from 'em. I live down the road from them (In Bolton) - they are next to the Reebok Stadium. If any of you have any probs with em I'll go and bollock them for you!
You might want to try www.dos.co.uk (http://www.dos.co.uk) - another place in Bolton where you can order online with cheap delivery. Their prices are amazing!

Quiff out.....

That's the place m8. Don't go on a Saturday though unless you want to take a picnic to eat whilst you queue for 3 hours in Scan! It's pretty popular.....
