    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.

    I tend to stick to komplett.co.uk, although I would also consider scan.co.uk.

    I would spend a couple more quid, if it is slightly more, and go with scan.

    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.
