Best place for 2nd Hand Parts

[tamus]

Hi was just wondering what the best places are to get 2nd PC parts, eg motherboards, PSUs, Graphics Cards etc?

I look on Ebay but it seems to be hard to get a real bargain these days with so many people using the site.

Thanks

Its mostly for the future, Im getting married next year so no got much spare cash but Im interested in building myself a better PC. I have a decent case, cooler, sata hard drive and Monitor but need pretty much everything else.

Also I have a friends PC which is really old but I think it needs a new 350 watt PSU. It would just be a PC that I can maybe give to another family member as the friend has already bought a spanking new laptop so I dont want to spend much money on one.

After recently doing a build with secondhand parts (link in my sig), I 2nd this.
Although bargins tend to go fast on the for sale section.

You can use fleabay, esp for slightly older bits, my advice is find out e-tail costs for items and don't be lured into paying over that.
Set your self a max price and don't go over it.

However you can also build yourself a decent pc from new parts these days.
One big tip for good bargins is to keep an eye on the technology market and look for reduced prices on last generation stuff when newer models/versions come out.

When the new intel i5 cpu's come out I'd expect to see quite a few core2duo cpu's and motherboards appearing on fleabay.
There may be a few 9series nvidia and 48xx series ATi graphics cards appearing soon as well when DX11 cards come out later this year.
