I know a few people on the forums work for wholesalers for PC parts.

Was wondering if anyone can recommend a good wholesaler our business could use to get PC parts.

Looking around southside, Camp Hill, Coorparoo, etc.

Cheers

while not a wholesaler i use www.instantit.com.au for my work IT stuff, nice speedy deliveries where sometimes ive recieved stuff on teh same day

Altech - http://www.altech.com.au
Ingram Micro - http://www.ingrammicro.com.au

Are the 2 that we use. Im not sure if, buy wholesalers you mean wholesale distributors or just cheap pc parts in bulk. Those two are the former.

http://www.cw.com.au/ at the gabba

www.achieva.com.au in Bowen Hills/Grange for the win

Hey, thanks for all the input dudes.

Took scuzzy's advice and checked out CompuWorld. Seemed like a great place to go. Thanks!

BTW; any QGL'er work there?

Last time I bought stuff from CW, 9/12 items I bought were cheaper at Umart.

It depends on what in particular you're chasing. In 9/10 cases, you won't get the parts at a decent price unless a> you're buying more than 5 or more systems, or b> you're dealing with direct distributors of the products, who generally wouldn't deal with standard businesses. Altech is my bet for the standard ABN holder who wants slightly (and I stress slightly) better than retail pricing.

Most often than not you'll find if you're a walk-in off the street customer, the wholesalers will do a cash sale for you (except for the big-boys), but they'll hike up the price cause they know they can get away with it.
