    If Scan are returning to their old ways of actually stocking things I might want to buy then that is excellent. I think recently Amazon have had more PC component orders from me than Scan and that just feels wrong.

    Ebuyer seem all over the place with free shipping. I seem to get free next day on everything at the moment, don't know what triggered that mind. Probably just buying quite a lot of stuff

    I don't usually read the product reviews.

    What about the following? MSI B85M-G43 for £47.72 plus 2 x Patriot DDR33 2GB CL9 1333Mhz for £31.84 plus Pentium G3220 for £25 = £104.56 free shipping from eBuyer, potential cashback, better motherboard, saved money can go toward something else.
