Default Bulk Buying PC Components

Anyone know where i can puchase PC components in bulk, say 50+ graphics cards, or 50+ stick of RAM ?

I'm not too bothered if there are slighty outdated, for example PC133 Ram would be cool....

Just want to buyt it as cheap as possible....

Any links to wesbites would be really appreciated...

If you can prove you are a legitimate IT reseller and have been trading for a while there are plenty of places. Quite a few would ask for a website so they can check you out before selling to you.

Loads of people out there depending on what you are lloking to buy. YOu may need to be very specific with what RAM you want eg specify what make and spec and with graphics cards specify exact model as quite a few of the disties carry specific lines only.

Check out Computer Trade Only, a trade mag that will only send you a copy once they verify you're a legit trader.

Check out some of the palces that recycle corporate machines. We use a company who take anything we don't want away, they give us a nominal amount of cash, then get all our old kit. They then do what they want with it, I'm assuming they just strip all teh decent parts and flog them or build a whole system and flog it.

The name escapes me at the moment (I know we've recently switched who we use) but I will get it on Tuesday.

Edited to say I know we either used to use, or still use these guys http://www.ocmbiz.com, will need to check with our buyer.
