Hello,
I represent a new company called Cool Components based in the UK. We supply cheap PIC microprocessors, Sirf Star III GPS modules and lots of other useful stuff for RC builders.
We ship quickly worldwide, and our postal charges are small.
Come and see what we have, and how reasonable we are.

I like the way you have done the site, and your prices do look good too.
Added to my list of favorites. :)

P.S. You might want to consider getting some banner space on RCGroups in the DIY Electronics and UAV Forums. That should help promote your business a lot more than one or two posts.

Thanks guys. Nice to have your comments. We're just revamping the site to make it look a little cleaner, and a bit more professional. Will have it up and running in the new year. In the meantime, what components do you guys find hard to get in the UK cheaply? We're always looking for new things to stock, provided there is a real demand.

I was looking into getting some of the Allegro stepper motor driver IC's a while back, and couldn't find anywhere that would sell me 4 or 5 of them for a reasonable price. Most places wanted to charge an absolute fortune, or sell me 1000 of them!
The other thing I am looking into at the moment is small video cameras to use in a multi camera video ship....
Cheers

Hi Andy. Sometime in the new year we plan to offer components that could easily be shaped into a wireless camera system - long range bluetooth radio modules + lightweight colour cameras.
We're taking a look at the Allegro chips now.
Please note : the website has been redesigned to make it cleaner, and hopefully easier to use. If you spot any bugs, please contact us.
