Not sure I've not seen (or bought) from them a few times at fairs...  the £10 
p&p explains why I look for someone local & high volume who can drop by on.

Yep Maplins are good for odd thing, they tend to do Cooler Master 'end user' 
aimed stuff, unless it's in their catalog and that works out pricey.

These things only cost £2-3 quid for a good one from the right source, hence 
why I wonder if anyone knows local system builders, it can be a big help at 
times.
