I got bored, and thought this would seem interesting.

I personally use "DirectCanada"

 

They give free shipping to certain places in Canada, which I'm eligible for, which allowed me to get more money invested into the actual hardware of my rig I have right now, instead of actually getting it here.

Never really had a problem with them, and I've ordered quite a few things from them, also they have lower prices than NCIX on a lot of things.

I thought about that but I know of 0 stores from the UK. The closest thing I know of is a grocery store in Australia because of a friend that lives there.

Newegg most of the time. If I want it by saturday and order it by Thursday Amazon. I love Amazon replacement policy. They replaced my power supply by mailing me a new one and having a UPS guy picking up my pachage then putting the shipping label onto the package. Brilliant. I have Amazon Prime Student. But I don't like Amazon for the fact that they charge tax.
