Buying Computer Stuff

Hi all.

I'm somewhat of a computer geek who likes to build (and break) computers as a hobby. Since moving to Madrid from the US, I have been really frustrated by the lack of online stores for buying computer related hardware (memory, harddrives, etc). In the States, we have websites such as CDW.com, TigerDirect.com, and NewEgg.com where it's really easy (and relatively inexpensive) to buy everything you needed to build or repair a computer, and have it shipped to your house. Now, I find myself at a loss to find similar resources.

Anyone out there have any good online sources for buying computer hardware?

Thanks!

I use http://www.pccoste.es/ they seem to be just about everywhere. Im not sure if they do a delivery, and frankly ive seen delivery men in spain.. i wouldnt sign and pay for anything lol).


They seem pretty cheap. Also http://www.appinformatica.com/ are huge out here. Lots of stores opening all over I have seen. Prices again are competitive.

Hope this helps.

Nice online ones are:

http://www.alternate.es/html/index.html (Recommended, they work very profi and quick)

http://www.audiotronics.es/

and a nice shop for strange or difficult to find stuff is http://www.conetica.es/ (Both for profi as modders, they have those things that normal shops don't sell).
