Got to say though, some prices on Scan have gone up more than I would have expected, the one I have noticed the most is the Corsair RAM. It used to be the case that the Corsair RAM from scan was within a few quid of the cheapest RAM you could find elsewhere.....now you can buy faster branded RAM elsewhere for noticeably less.
Whether that's the case across-the-board I don't know, I have been ordering less and less from them over the last couple of years due to a major drop in their CS.....stupid of them as well when you look back through orders and see just how many thousands I have spent there and they still treated me like crap. So be warned, they aren't the "go the extra mile" shop they used to be.
