You might try www.frontline.co.uk
I had a (very) quick look at their web prices and they seem pretty
competitive (the HDD I looked at cost just under £1 more than Ebuyer)
and has the huge (for me anyhow) advantage of being a 10 minute drive
away.

I use them all the time - the guys in the shop are polite, friendly,
knowledgeable and helpful. The website is pretty new (the guy in the
shop showed it to me while I was there buying a PSU) so today is the
first time I've looked at it.

They always answer the phone quickly (of course that might change as
they get bigger and busier) and last time I called it was a real
person - another big plus as if anything goes wrong you can actually
contact them straight away. I've only ever had one problem and they
swapped the component for another one immediately with no questions.
Of course that may well have been because they know me there.

If they don't have what you want on the website, it's worth giving
them a call - they have lots of bits and pieces (fans, cables,
connectors etc).

Definitely worth a look for anyone living reasonably close (they are
in Three Bridges near Crawley).

And no, I don't work there :)
