Probably a reputable outlet like Dabs is worth a look...

I'm sure others will have suggestions too...

Right, Reputable was the word I should have used.

Any more besides Dabs?

How about Overlackers name I saw here before? Thnx

I have always bought from OC UK (The link Charlie posted above) and they do seem very 'safe'. Not always too hot on delivery though.

Thanx Dan and all others.

Iwill try one of these, as even PCworld on the net is still £20-30 more than them. yuli

Yep, as with anything, you'll pay a premium in stores such as PC World...

Also try Kelkoo...... for price comparisons.

Kelkoo

Most of the sites it comes up with are reputable suppliers. It's a good starting point and you can easily see the price variations for the same item. There can be large variations.

Two choices that I've dealt with personally.

Scan has a FAR better choice than Overclockers UK Wink

http://www.overclockers.co.uk (Stoke on Trent Staffordshire )

Both UK.
