[ILUG] [OT] Hardware vendors - Cynic post :

[Declan de Lacy Murphy]

I am nearly sure that IT Direct in Parliament Street do the ASUS motherboards.

I have always found them to be consistently competitive on price down to giving
me the last of an old batch  of
memory at the old price when the price was rocketing.
Hopefully I am not wrong about them stocking those boards.
