We also stock blank media, including CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R, DL, and now Blu-Ray.

Choosing a good monitor can be very important, since the user spends more time looking at this component than any other part of the PC! We keep a selection of screens in stock, from 15" LCD to 22" LCD flatscreen.

We also have a selection of cheap 2nd-hand screens available, both LCD and the older CRT (bulky!) types. Give us a call for more information.

.: graphics cards

The world of PC graphics has for a long time being dominated by Nvidia and ATi. Recently, ATi have been bought-out by AMD, & the extra financial muscle will mean increased competition for Nvidia, which can only be good for us gamers!

We keep cards by both companies, though we stock mostly Nvidia. Cards vary in price from about £30, right-up to around £400 for the leading-edge products. We also often have some good, recent, 2nd-hand cards in stock, which have been traded-in by the keen gamer/upgrader! Call for details.

We also stock a selection of the earlier AGP based cards too, in addition to PCI-Express.

.: sound cards & speakers

Having a good soundcard in a PC can be very important. The majority of PCs these days some with "onboard" sound, sometimes referred to as integrated sound. This setup is fine for most purposes, but undoubtedly for the keen music fan, or for the enthusiastic gamer, having a dedicated sound card in the system can make a big difference.

We recommend cards by Creative Labs, specifically the Sound Blaster series. The market leader for two decades, their Audigy & X-Fi cards are hard to beat. As ever, call us on (01642) 601160 for the latest pricing & availability.

We stock many "standard" type cases, that are usually just plain black, or black-and-silver. Plus, we have many so-called "modded" cases, such as the outlandish RaidMax Samurai "Spirit of War" (See illustration below).

Such is the variety of cases available, that it's best to call into our large showroom in Stockton, and have a browse around.

 We also have a wide selection of power-supply units available. From standard 400watt units under £30, to the extreme power-supplies capable of powering even the most extreme games rig, which generally retail at over £100. Please call for details.
