I'm getting a bit hacked off with the supplier I've been using for the last few years. Nothing monumental, just getting slower and slower (like my old computer build here with it's full C drive!) and the latest order hasn't arrived despite being scheduled over a week ago.

Thinking of trying elsewhere and looking for any good experiences. Are Dabs any good, for example?

Dabs are alright.

EBuyer and Komplett I have had good experience with.

www.eclipse-computers.com are usually the cheapest, with varying service.

I've used www.aria.co.uk and www.microdirect.co.uk … and happy with the service that I receive from both of them.

I second Aria, used them and got a speedy delivery, well packaged and no missing bits. All done over the web.

overclockers, microdirect or dabs are all ok.

ccl computers & ebuyer are ok too.

Avoid savacenter/watford electronics like the plaughe, took me 2 months to get my vid card refunded.

As said overclockers owner is around here somewhere, usualy in the fezza section

Yes - stand up and be counted!

I shouldn't look at sites like this, I come over all geeky and want all the toys even though I don't know what I'm doing with them!

I'll add a vote for MicroDirect. Use them a lot, even for trade stuff, and I have yet to find them wanting.
