Finding parts for my PC system
Can somebody please help me =[

i need a list of cheap yet good components to finish off the building of my system.

Good For Games:
- Keyboard (With On Side Number Pad)
- Mouse
- Monitor (Atleast 22")
- Speakers
- Headphones With Mouth Piece

(I'm a gamer so I wouldn't mind having those items be good quality, but still remembering i"m on budget.)

Others:
- Externel Blu-Ray DDR
- Memory Card Reader (That Slots Into The Tower Case.)
- Wireless Network Adapter
- TV Input Adaptor (If That's What Its Called.)
- Webcam

(I need anything Shmicko for these items above, just whatever is good at a low price.)

If you could provide the item name, price and where to get it, that would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Try posting on your local "Freecycle.org" or "Craigslist.com" groups, if they exist in your city.

Also search these parts on Ebay...
If you can pay shipping, try the for sale forums here-->

Let us know what happens.
Cheers!

At the risk of sounding like a logitech sales man, check out some of their stuff.
If you shop around you can normally get this stuff quite cheap, while its all good gaming gear.

G5 gaming mouse.
G11 or G15 keyboard (would suggest the older design, the new ones just crappy)
and their X line speakers are pretty good, as well as being dirt cheap.
Good quality 5.1 surround sound for £45, £30 used on ebay. 2.1 for around 15-20 (search Logitech X-210 for the 2.1, X-530 for the 5.1)

Wireless network adapters are dirt cheap. Wireless N adapter wont set you pack more than a tenner. and another 5 quid if you want a high db antenna to go with it. Just search around on some websites, all makes are pretty much the same. (dabs.com, aria.co.uk, scan, ebuyer, microdirect, overclockers, to name but a few)

At the end of the day, the parts are for you. you need to look around at whats out there and decide for yourself.
