    Hardware suppliers for MCE components

    Reply Contact
    I am doing some research for a future article and I would like to know who are the good suppliers of MCE components to the public.  The article is about hardware requirements for MCE 2005 and I want o point people to the right places.

    The components I am referring to are:
    • MCE remotes and keyboards
    • MCE compatible TV tuner cards
    • The actual MCE software
    • HTPC cases
    • etc etc etc
    I have a few in mind already but I want to know the ones you know about and used.

    Thanks

    Chris

    I know that megastore (www.megastore.co.za) had extremely reasonable prices on the MCE remotes and keyboards a while back. Dunno if they're still stocking them. They were the cheapest guys I found locally.

    I bought a couple of things from http://www.sybaritic.co.za/ (Remote, keyboard, Capture cards, etc.) - prices not bad, service good, delivery or collection (Randburg).
