PC components emit a lot of waste heat, and whether you opt for an air-cooler, all-in-one hydrocooler or custom watercooling loop your case will need fans to keep everything cool.

This category contains a huge variety of 120mm fans, these used by a huge variety of cases, air-coolers, all-in-one hydrocoolers and watercooling radiators.

Keep an eye out for the airflow, normally measured in CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute) with a higher number indicating more airflow. It's also worth looking at the sound level, normally measured in dBA, with a lower number indicating less noise.Some fans are also optimised for use on radiators, and will be marketed as having a higher static pressure than standard case fans.

Extension leads offer the flexibility of longer length cords or multiple sockets, or both. More importantly many contain surge protection technology to guard against power spikes that may damage connected devices.

PDUs or power distribution units are designed for rack environments where many devices are connected to a centralised power source protected by a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) and cable management is essential.

A UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) provides power to devices when normal mains service fails such as during a power cut. UPS systems can be stand-by, only supplying power when the regular supply is interrupted or online, relying on regular power and/or batteries to supply it while it supplies power to the protected device. A UPS is highly recommended for mission critical systems such as workstations, servers and all server room and datacentre infrastructure.

These UPS devices are designed to protect standalone systems or small office infrastructures, providing graceful shutdown of critical systems and applications in the event of a power outage.

It's no good if your laptop's power supply has stopped working, or if it's been lost. Our selection includes third-party power packs that work with dozens of laptops from top manufacturers, replacement batteries, emergency charging packs and even ruggedised chargers for working in demanding locations.

AMD and Intel CPUs produce a lot of waste heat, and without a sufficient cooler will overheat, shutting down or damaging your system. It’s critical therefore to choose an appropriate CPU cooler.

This category lists a huge variety of low-profile air-coolers for AMD and Intel CPUs. Low-profile air-coolers are shorter than typical coolers, handy for when you're building a small form factor PC or have a desktop rather than tower case.

Before you start browsing it’s important to know what sort of CPU you have, as AMD and Intel CPUs use different processor sockets and mounting mechanisms. These designs can change over time too, so its important to check your component documentation or our buyers guide to find out which sort of CPU cooler you should be looking for.

PC cases are more than just a box, they help to keep all the components cool and working optimally. PC cases are personal too, coming in a huge variety of shapes, sizes, colours and materials.

It’s important to choose the right case for your PC because components such as motherboards, CPU coolers, graphics cards, power supplies and drives come in a wide variety of sizes, and also have their own cooling requirements. Check your component documentation or our buyers guide to find out which sort of case is right for you.

These compact Micro-ATX cases are a great choice for a small form factor gaming PC, office system or professional workstation, and are compatible with Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. Some cases in this category have a transparent window, usually made from tempered glass, allowing you to view the precious components inside.

A UPS is highly recommended for mission critical systems such as workstations, servers and all server room and datacentre infrastructure.

These UPS devices are designed to protect server room or datacentre infrastructures, providing consistent clean power and graceful shutdown of mission-critical systems and applications in the event of a power outage.

Mid-tower cases are a great choice for a gaming PC, office system or professional workstation. Most of these mid-tower cases are compatible with ATX or smaller motherboards, although some do support larger E-ATX motherboards. Every case in this category has a transparent window, usually made from tempered glass, allowing you to view the precious components inside.
