One of the biggest shortcomings in the SA market is a good, reliable online computer shop with a large choice of brands and low prices.

Anyone have any comments on the best online store for buying computer components, laptops and accessories?

I would love to be able to pay by credit card and have delivery within a week to my door.

(Yes, I know why we don't have the same choice as in, for example, the US and this thread is NOT for that discussion; I just want to know which are the best.)

Cool thanks.

Prophecy looks good and Landmark looks really good. Pity about them not taking credit cards though.

Zones is just a newspaper insert with some prices. Probably the worst website I have ever seen.

edit to add: Landmark has excellent choice and the best prices on PSUs I've seen all day. Thanks!

PC Zone is not an online store, period.

I will add to the list:

nivo.co.za
wootware.co.za
rebeltech.co.za

Places that I check practically on a daily basis for prices and have bought from a few times each, are:

- Sybaritic
- Nivo
- Take2
- IkonicIT
- Prophecy

I've recently added RebelTech as well, after seeing their prices and hearing from friends about their experiences

Also if you're in Pta I've used http://titan-ice.co.za/ a few times. I've just had good service from them & cos they're close I get to collect from them, saves time & money.
