Question Bulk Parts/Licenses?

Hey guys, I'm new to the whole building computers scene. Are there any sites that sell computer parts in bulk for a discount? Where do you buy your single parts from?

Also, if I was planning to sell on computers in the future, how would I go about acquiring Windows licenses? (I presume you need some kind of license.)

Thanks very much.

www.newegg.com, www.zipzoomfly.com are both excellent sites. Newegg is probably the best place to buy - best selection, prices are really good and great customer support.

Yeah although Newegg doesn't ship internationally, unfortunately (I'm in the UK).

Just so you know...just selling computers won't make you much money. The real money comes from service and support of the computers you sell. If you don't plan to provide support for the computers you sell you might as well not even get into the business.

For some UK sites you can check out OverClockers, Scan, Ebuyer or Novatech.

Jimmy's suggestions are my preferences, too. Give Overclockers a call - if you're serious you might be able to negotiate some bulk discount.
