    Misco has a sister site called tigerdirect. However they are "the same people" or whatever I have heard bad things about TigerDirect but not Misco. Just a word of advice. Misco are good though; I have bought from them.
    As for shipping, I wouldn't bother. Buy more RAM or something ;)

    Tigerdirect is good. They aren't the cheapest, but they don't sell junk like Newegg. Tigerdirect/Misco used to be lousy with their rebates, which is probably where most of the complaints stem from, but they use a centralized service now and you always get them, at least in the U.S. Rebates are still a PITA though.

    Fry's also ships internationally and sometimes have good prices.

    Ah ok, I haven't ordered form either Misco/TigerDirect in a while, so wasn't aware of the changes. That's good to hear as they do have good prices most of the time.

    this place is as cheap as any iv seen in the uk,

    http://www.advancetec.co.uk/

    and this place does highend stuff,

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/

    you will also find some great deals here,

    http://www.dabs.com/

    the us sites are great for the prices but if you ship them to the uk you lose the warrenty so if any thing goes wrong your up a creak with out a paddle
