All of the following are from a UK perspective:

 

Ebuyer - have used them, good service and reasonable prices

Overclockers, Laptops Direct, and also SCAN who you haven't listed - haven't used them but they're often recommended - would buy from them if it came up

Newegg - their site really annoys me but many people really like them

 

I don't know much about the others

Thanks for reading all this by the way!

By the way, my desktop is a docked laptop. Get over it, No seriously, I have an exterrnal monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, ethernet and cooling fans all connected. Using it feels no different to a desktop, it works for several hours if the power goes out, and disconnecting just a few cables gives me something I can take on the go. There's enough power for all games I play and it even copes with basic (and some not-so-basic) video editing. Give it a go - you might just love it.

Personally I find Amazon the most reliable. 

In the UK (where OP is located) at least, Amazon's pricing on computer parts is crap. Also with the obvious ethical issues many people are searching for alternatives to Amazon.

I’m also based in the UK/Ireland and Amazon is actually the best prices for the majority of components I shop.

That's odd.... I've always found them to be dreadful. Never mind.

 

Personally I hate Amazon, but to each their own I say
