[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 997918, member: 176704"] Have used most of those above (except the German one), and some of the "small players" on eBay UK are quite good, especially for s/h items - though, TBH, I do use Amaz*n quite a bit because of their delivery service as I am a Amaz*n Prime subscriber. Novatech in Portsmouth has also been very competitively priced with good delivery when I have used them in the past. Have also used "Morgan Computers" (now part of the JLT group, so not the old "real" Morgan company!) for my ACER 2620 nettop, but their "Operations" Department support was so bad that they need an operation to behead the lot of them - had to lambast the MD to prove they had sold me a complete lemon (same case, wrong model, wrong ghosted-image first time around which meant it would neither boot nor run correctly) before I got a working one. I think I recounted that in another thread a few months ago:mad:. BTW: Nowadays there are very few very small local computer shops (except for PC Turd:eek: ) even in the London area, and I do feel sorrow for them, but that, and the lack of local "computer fairs", makes it impossible to get something in any way "unusual" (by which I mean not mainstream mfr PCs and overpriced cables etc.) at anything like a competitive price, if at all, unless you buy on-line.
