Default Best place to buy PC parts ?

Can anyone help me with some info on a company that sells quality PC parts at resonable rates.
My hard disk is fubared and I used to get my stuff from overclockers but everything I bought there to build my PC has packed up and I've had enough
Any websites etc would be most useful.

Cheers
Jay

Ebuyer or Scan.. both are good..

The only bad thing i've heard about Ebuyer is if you have any problems with your order etc... but I guess when you order parts that cheap you don't mind too much

I swear by Scan, although it helps that it's a 5-minute drive up the road......never had any problems with anything I've bought from there that I couldn't put down to normal "wear/tear".

And Scan also do a today offer which is good if they have what you want..

But look between the 2 as they both beat each other on some stuff

Thanks everyone just ordered an internal 120gb hardrive and 80 gb external hardrive from scan for £118 incl delivery which seemed good, now to see if the anything else is broken. Just have to hope I can get the stuff recovered off the broken hardrive too
