Cheap computer bits

[ciphergoth]

Here's an easier one. Where do you go in London to buy things like cheap spindles of CD-Rs? In the wonderfully dodgy Silicon Group in Edinburgh, you can buy 100 CD-Rs for £18, with no packaging except a circle of plastic at either end and shrink wrap. I also need to buy a replacement keyboard, black ink for a HP DeskJet 690C, and a cable that plugs a sound card into a hi-fi.

Is there a particularly good shop on Tottenham Court Road that's worth checking first, or are the best bargains to be had away from TCR?

Maplin are currently doing 100 80 min blanks for £19, he says looking at a pile of them. They also have about twenty different keyboards to try before you buy. They also sell cables. As well as TCR, they've branches all over London.

For cheaper, you want one of the fairs off TCR on Saturday mornings. I always prefered the one near Goodge St tube to the one near the TUC at the south end.
