~I used to use Scan religiously, but I've had to stop using them now.
~When they changed over to allowing web-based ordering, they cut
~down the number of people answering the phones, to the point where
~you're typically on hold for 45-60 minutes before you get to speak to
~them. When coupled with the number of incorrect orders they've sent
~recently, that doesn't make for a happy customer (they won't let you
~return goods until you've spoken to someone and got a returns number
~-- tricky when they don't answer the phone).

~I've since started using RL Supplies in Watford, and so far, I've been
~very happy with them. They even undercut Scan on price, too, for many
~items. http://www.rlsupplies.co.uk

Try http://www.eclipse-computers.com  (£79.84 inc VAT +delivery for a
generic HDD, not much more for known ones)
or http://online.staktrading.com/cgi-bin/stakshop/
where I bought a 40GB Fuijitsu picobird last week for £83 inc VAT. And
because I also got a £57 HP CD burner for a friend, delivery was free
and it came by Citylink next day.
