Here you go.. taken from a lil site I know..
http://www.komplett.co.uk Seem to have recently overtaken Ebuyer as the cheapest around for CPUs and graphics cards and more! Highly recommended.
http://www.ebuyer.com Huge range, and very cheap. Not so hot on the customer service, but I use them a lot. It's best only to order in-stock items, as otherwise you can be in for a long wait! Free p&p over £100
http://www.dabs.com Wide range, though not usually the cheapest. Worth a look.
http://www.tekheads.co.uk/ I've found these useful for cases / fans etc. Also good for watercooling gear.
http://www.theoverclockingstore.com/ Fairly expensive, but free p&p so good for small purchases.
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ Usually fairly expensive, and high p&p, but good range of products.
http://www.crucial.com/uk/ Get your RAM here! Always cheaper than through a 3rd party, and free p&p
http://www.digiuk.com Cheap refurbished Trinitron monitors, with Sony guarantee. The 3 I've had have been as good as new Also sells new monitors and more. Highly recommended.
http://www.redstore.com Cheapest I've found for accessories eg. hubs, scanners, microphones. Good range of cables. PC components tend to be expensive.
http://www.kingdomkomputers.co.uk/ Recently taken over, and website seems out of date.
http://www.scan.co.uk/today.htm Expensive p&p, but worth a look for their "Today Only" section. Not renowned for customer service!
http://www.aria.co.uk/ Good range, fairly cheap.
http://www.simply.co.uk/ Good range and fairly cheap.
http://www.cclcomputers.co.uk/acatalog/ Worth a look.
http://www.eclipse-computers.com/ Seem to be cheap, and have a price-match policy! Free p&p for orders over £100.
http://www.watford.co.uk Large range, but highish prices
http://www.thecoolingshop.co.uk/ Tweakmonster ramsinks.
http://www.itbutikken.dk/default.asp Cheap, but foreign company, so high p&p. Worth a look.
http://www.stak.com Sometimes have some good deals.
http://www.baybus.co.uk/ Self-explainitory
http://www.overclock.co.uk/ Sell unlocked CPUs, but seem fairly expensive.
http://www.novatech.co.uk/NOVATECH/Home.html Large range, but the prices are usually high.
http://www.addonsonline.co.uk/ (same as
http://www.microlanduk.com/ ) Sometimes have some cheap OEM graphics cards. Customer service not so great.
http://www.sapphiresystems.co.uk/shopping/index.htm Sometimes have some good deals in their special offers section.
http://www.jungle.com/ hmm...
http://www.smcdirect.co.uk/ Large range, but fairly expensive.

http://www.misco.co.uk Large range of computer products.
http://www.globaldirect.co.uk/ Some good stuff but expensive
http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/ Nice store Good service and cheap p+p
http://www.microdirect.co.uk Ok to order from, tend to stock as much as possible but are gearing more towards the tech's now with the likes of the SV range and some nicer cases.
http://www.insight.com Sometimes have better prices than Dabs but tht's not that hard Good selection and worth a look.
http://www.rlsupplies.co.uk/ They offer some more unusual products as well as the normal things. Reasonable for USB and IE1394 enclosures and all manner of other gadgets.
www.span.com *NOT* Cheap but they sell the more high end of storage devices at a PREMIUM! If you are looking for some odd SCSI cards have a look.
http://www.over-clock.co.uk/acatalog/ Small outfit that is not quite as big as it should be to do what it does. They have limited stocks and a 2+week wait is not uncommon for waterkits. They do however things in that as far as i'm aware are not easily available in the UK elswhere (if i'm wrong tell me).
http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/ I know a gent who worked for them and his views are similar to my experiences as a customer. Prices on some things are good others are not that good at all. Service is not amazing but it's far from poor. Get on the flyer mailing list and they send you a nice list of products out monthly that they have in.
http://www.6thplanet.com/ 6TH Planet or Saturn Computers are a clearing house for a lot of failed orders or end of line items, call backs seem to go into a black hole for a few days then pop out magically, they sell kit that's hard to find in some cases, also tend to do a lot of dell rebuilds and the M-Station in car and portable MP3 Kit afaik only place in the uk.
www.ram-direct.com I will *NOT* reccomend this company to anyone, i know friends/family who have had problems and one case where a RAM employee assaulted a punter at a local fair when he attempted to return something he had purchased and didn't understand the difference between a 3 year manufs warranty and a 12 month ram warranty. AVOID Not the nicest of places to deal with.
www.systemservices.co.uk Laptop breakers and spares. If you need something unusual they are a good place to start. Also remove passwords and buy dead laptops.
http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/ Another local one to me, the prices are ok and service isn't that bad, never had to return anything but they do fix prices in the area as they are one of the biggest buyers and re-sell to most of the local smaller outfits.
http://www.pcupgrader.co.uk/ Usually expensive.
http://www1.action.com/ Usually expensive.
http://www.microwarehouse.co.uk/home.asp Expensive
http://www.msquared.co.uk/ I always look here when I'm searching for components, but I've never found them to be the cheapest.
http://www.overclockedpc.co.uk/ Sell unlocked CPUs and some more specialist stuff, also does some amazing watercooling kit!
http://www.microfinder.com/ Refurbished and used computer equipment.
www.cpc.co.uk Electronic components (capacitors etc, large range).
www.pc500.net Seem to specialise in hard drives / displays.
http://www.bossecomputers.com/ Main UK distributor for Lian Li cases and A4-Tech mice.
http://www.coolmods.com/index.htm Voltage Mod Kits and Cold Fusion Fan Controller.
www.companycomponents.co.uk Sell components to companies.
www.gdsuk.co.uk Tried by Devildisk and recommended: "I had to return a motherboard to GDS and they gave me no hassle they just changed it, even though it was me at fault (I ordered the wrong one)."
http://www.directron.com/index.html US based shop, but sell some very nice stuff.
www.frontx.com FRONTX (Front X-tension) is a new product invented to relocate and transfer computer ports to the front of your PC system.
http://www.easyetrader.com/ Seems pretty cheap, and looks very much like an ebuyer clone!
http://www.banishbeige.co.uk Colour-coordinated computer components
I don't know that much about all the rest, although I've had a quick look and none of them seem that useful (poor range / high prices). Please post some details etc. for any ones you know / use, as well as any corrections/additions to what I've already written.

Their prices don't seem so bad, so they may be worth a look. Does anyone know anything about these guys?
