Froogle, googles price comparer (http://www.froogle.com) this is a bit new, but already getting rave reviews...

Google Gear (http://www.googlegear.com) I buy alot of my hardware for pcs i build there...

Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/) Another great retailer, Newegg, where i buy hardware from also..

and of course, never forget Ebay (http://www.ebay.com) If your around at the right time of day, you can get some steals on ebay!

PriceGrabber (http://www.pricegrabber.com)


This place takes alot of the cheapest online stores and puts them all down for you, tells you the cheapest w/ S and H included.
Works very nicely...

TigerDirect.com, Nationwide-Computer.com
NC's been in bankruptcy for about 6 years, and they still work wonders. Also, for 35 bucks, they'll also build your machine for you (and yes, I am that lazy)

i'd like to put Compgeeks.com on the table, they have desent prices, and sales that are extreme... don't have much on the high end of the spectrum... but plenty for the average comp user...

Aria Technologies (http://www.aria.co.uk)
CCL (http://www.cclcomputers.biz)
Eclipse (http://www.eclipse-computers.com)
Javelin (http://www.javelincomputers.com)
Komplett (http://www.komplett.co.uk)
Scan (http://www.scan.co.uk)
Stak Trading (http://online.staktrading.com)
Watford Electronics (http://www.watford.co.uk)

Being in London, Komplett are my favourite source because it's a right PITA to return faulty stuff to Yorks/Lancs/Staffs.

I dont think so .... might be but ... pricewatch has much more variety (or at least for the stuff i have been looking for) so I would say:

No1 : PRICEWATCH without copmetition

Overclockers, CCLcomputers and EuroPC are my favourites

Overclockers are pricey but good quality.
CCL Computers have trade prices but have limited brands.
EuroPC for refurbished
