    newegg is american, so a long way to come, which comes with high postage costs - and the possibility of being stopped by customs to pay VAT (as is outside of the EU)

    ebuyer, scan, hardwareversand, pixmania, amazon are a couple Ive used, and would recommend

    overclockers.co.uk and dabs.ie as well. Just find what you want, check them all and buy from the cheapest.

    I find Geizhals.de good too. It would compare most of the sites above. Probably with the exception of Irish sites.

    Hardwareversand require payments made via bank transfer rather than credit card. A bit of hassle (having to queue at the bank etc), but worth knowing :)

    (I'm open to correction obviously, been a while since I used em)

    theres a flat rate on postage from hardwareversand, which would put me off single purchases from them

    You can do a bank transfer in about 60 seconds via internet banking, it's even easier now with SEPA.
