Parts Sources

[FCase]

Hey,

I was thinking if others are are having a similar problem, that it would be a good idea to post your favorite US/European/Asian parts sources.

Right now I am having a hard time sourcing a supplier for Fractal's Kelvin Series AIOs in the US.

What do overseas consumers do for US made parts like Swiftech etc?

I use a forwarding address My country's postal service has a forwarding address in the USA, UK and China. The system is integrated with local post so everything is easy

Here in the Netherlands sourcing parts seems rather trivial, at least in my opinion. I've never had a real problem with it. I either go to http://www.highflow.nl/ or caseking.de and find what I need there. highflow I believe can even source a part for you if multiple people have interest

I mean you an even order a Cross Desk from them, not in stock but they will get it for you

UK:

General electronics/minor mechanical parts (screws, bolts, etc):

Farnell / CPC - CPC is the consumer arm, but there's nothing to stop you registering at Farnell as an individual, you still get charged VAT as normal). Part selection is slightly different between the two sites. Farnell has free next-day delivery on orders over £20 (not inc. VAT), or all orders if you have a trade account. CPC has free delivery over £5 (not inc. VAT)
RS Components - Free next-day delivery
Digikey - £12 shipping for all orders under £50 (not inc. VAT), have a very wide part selection due to copious US stock
Mouser - £12 shipping for all orders under £33 (not inc. VAT), have a similar part selection to Digikey

Computer parts:

Scan
OCUK
AriaPC
CCL
Dabs
Novatech
Ebuyer
And the ubiquitous Amazon

I call "CHEATING" on that sir. (Only cause I can't do it myself)

Yeah I use Amazon and Newegg and Fry's locally when I need it NOW. I'm new to water cooling so I am trying to find a good source for all things H2O that won't be intimidated by Asetek's patent trolling.

Anyone use "Aquatuning USA" ?
