Question British new egg eqivelants?

I keeping seeing the new egg site mentioned a notoriously high number of times on PR. i have looked at it myself, and used £ to $ convertors to check prices etc. But do they ship over to the land of £? If they dont im not too fussed, but does the UK have a new egg equivilant?

I currently use http://www.ebuyer.co.uk (also based in america) and http://www.overclockers.co.uk . the 2 seem to be equally priced but im wondering if there are cheaper better value for money sites for the UK?

Any help from J.E and the like would be most useful.

Even if you can find a supplier who'll send stuff here, remember you'll have to pay:
shipping;
squeeze on the exchange rate;
VAT on the assessed value (usually $1 = £1);
+ possibly other import duties, & Customs & Excise may try and con you in to paying interest on the taxes too

What it adds up to is it's not really worth it.


I get quite a bit of stuff off eBay, but the sites I get modding stuff from in descending order of usefulness are:
overclock.co.uk
Vehicle Wiring Products
Maplin
Dabs
Screwfix
Woolies

Sites I've got in my bookmarks but haven't used:
http://www.custompc.co.uk/
http://www.xcase.co.uk/acatalog/Computer_Cases.html
http://www.kustompcs.co.uk/
http://www.littlebush.com/acatalog/index.html
http://www.chill-tek.com/
http://www.casetech.co.uk/index.php
http://www.case-sensitive.co.uk/
http://www.coolercases.co.uk/
http://www.equilla.co.uk/shop/catalog/default.php

Sites I wouldn't touch with somebody else's bargepole:
overclockers.co.uk have d!cked me about once too often, friends have had the same bad experience;
Special Reserve - avoid

No other regulars here
Plenty of British visitors over the years, but none seem to hang around long enough to get past the n00b stage.
