Good Online Computer Store ?

Can anyone recommend a good online retailer for Computer components ?

I'm looking for a new graphics card, but have no idea where to look

Thanks

Stuart

PC Case gear are probably one of the best online shops currently, prices are reasonably comparable to MSY who used to be cheaper than every body but didn't have proper online ordering, unreliable stock levels and well, *limited* customer service

I often get stuff from EYO and AUSPCMARKET here in Sydney, though there must be a decent local store in the Gong that will delivery to you?

JW computers in Villawood. They have a lot more stock that advertised online though so you can give them a call. Been using them for ages. www.jw.com.au

for both of these suppliers.
I mostly use EYO (just found an old invoice from 1997!). Their courier charges are reasonable and delivery is quick.

Edit: Shipping to Wollongong is $10

I've had a lot of dealings with Techbuy and have always found them to be a good company to deal with.

I used to drive to EYO back in the days when they were next door in Chipping Norton. Then they moved to closer to the city (Alexandria?) and it was too far to go. I think they import and supply most of the shops in western sydney too.

EYO are in Padstow but started out in Hinchinbrook. That would have been convenient for you.

+1 for techbuy, although my first choice is out local dealer who is often cheaper than the online dealers and has a shopfront in the event of problems or the need for a return.
