I would certainly agree with scan and aria technology I have shopped with them both online and locally, Scan is a large retailer with good support but there sales team on the phone don't seem all that technical, Aria are a small based company in Manchester but are more competative, as with scan they do a deal of the day but I think really there isn't a lot of change in there range as with scan.

I have also shopped with a local company in bolton called DOS computers but have generally found they stock "cheap" ranges at higher prices than some components you can get elsewhere, there techies are good though, hard to find if your visiting them in person but there site www.dos.co.uk (http://www.dos.co.uk) is nicely laid out
