| very restrained of you not to mention scan specifically! many of us would recommend scan, theyre helpful as you can actually speak to them on the phone for advice unlike overclockers.co.uk (who i personally have had poor experience with). only problem is the £7 postage if you only want something small. komplett.co.uk are well worth a look for bargins too, as are ebuyer for little things. there are loads of comments in the users.hexus section for you to make your mind up. my 2p  |

| I tend to stick to komplett.co.uk, although I would also consider scan.co.uk. "Well, there was your Uncle Tiberius who died wrapped in cabbage leaves but we assumed that was a freak accident." |

| I would spend a couple more quid, if it is slightly more, and go with scan. Originally Posted by High Contrast

| All the gear I've bought recently has come from Aria and Microdirect. I've found them both to be very good on prices and to deal with when problems have arisen. Microdirect had a very bad reputation a couple of years ago but seem to be much improved. * Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Socket 775 (3.0GHz), stock cooler, Gigabyte GA-EP43-S3L iP43 Socket 775, OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 1066MHz/PC2-8500 Gold Memory, PowerColor HD 4870 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card, Seagate 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache, Arctic Power 500W PSU, Hann-G 19" widescreen Kitchen Table Browser: Dell Inspiron 1000, 2.2 ghz Celeron laptop On the Road: Dell XPS M1330 laptop |
