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

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

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.

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  ;)


http://www.scan.co.uk  (Bolton Lancashire)

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

Both UK.

PCWorld? You've got to be kidding !  :P
