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?

Don't know about TCR, but http://www.blankdiscshop.co.uk and http://www.bigpockets.co.uk are some of the best media suppliers I know of price-wise.

And yeah, £20 is too much to pay for 100 CDRs. £10 is more like it.

Thanks for the links! At 10p/disk, Silicon Group is still substantially cheaper than either of those though. Unless you go for overprints, 14p/disk before delivery seems to be the cheapest either of those sites offer. Hmm, do overprint CDs look cool or stupid?
