It can be hard to find a local shop that has both a good selection and good prices, which is why I like to do most (well, actually all) of my hardware shopping online. Here's a list of a bunch of places for you to choose from. If you have have dealt with any other sites that aren't listed, or know of others, please post them and I'll edit the list and add them.

Tiger Direct (USA) is another option. I've had only one order, and it was fine, but that doesn't make a good dealer. If anyone else has had good luck with them, add your words.....

www.pc-specialist.co.uk is another one. A small company without the ususal overheads, so cheaper prices, choice and customer service. :)

Couple of others I sometimes use as well as the other UK ones (I tend to stick with scan for most stuff though).

http://www.microlandtechnology.com/

Always good to have a nice big list of stores so that you can shop around for the best prices :)
