OT - Where to buy PC components ?

I'm looking for a new PSU, problem is the ones I want arn't avalible from the place I'd normally get them

I had something like this in mind:
http://www.hipergroup.com/products.php?lv=4&cate=1&type=38&pid=136&action=Feature
or something else from a good make, around 900W or more - and these are only £125ish


anyone used either of these:
http://www.ebuyer.com/
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/

Ebuyer is the one I use, I have spent a lot with them in the last few years. Delivery and service is very good and tends to be the cheapest place on the Internet for most computer stuff. Overclockers good but tends to be more expensive then ebuyer.

id avoid ebuyer and scan like the plague.

actually I just found that while you where typing
its £20 more but I could live with that - 6 12v rails I'm quite tempted by that

the thermaltake ones are £60 more and still only 4 rails




anyone used this lot ? (that appeared in the advert banner at the top of this post)
http://www.novatech.co.uk/

Ordered a Blu-ray player from Dabs on the 26th December. They said stock available within 2 weeks. I took delivery last week...

Never had a problem with Ebuyer though, bought loads of stuff from them.

Ive had a personal falling out with OCuk over a more than a few issues that occured well before i even received goods to return.
- Often shop at ebuyer due to price with no issues, also use scan a fair bit as i get postage free from them and they often stock what i want.

Otherwise ive also used: aria, novatech, dabs, misco, amazon, ebay.

They have far better customer service these days (couldn't have become any worse though!).
