Component cost:

We fit only quality, brand new electronic components. As they are supplied to us from our contractors, we don’t know exact price of the component until we order it, therefore it’s only orientation prices below. In any case, we are trying to be cheaper than Maplin or B&Q for components. There is also no student discount on parts.
