N2C are great, as long as you treat them as a mail-order company, rather
than treating them like a shop - ie: expecting them to actually have any
stock.

Last time my CPU keeled over, I was in a bit of a hurry to get it fixed (it
was the last couple of weeks of uni - lots of assignment deadlines). I
rushed into N2C, expecting to be able to get a nice deal on a replacement
CPU/board, only to find they had about 3 motherboards in, and *NO* CPUs at
all. They offered to order something in for me - obviously not quite what I
was after. If I'd wanted to wait 3 days for something, I would've ordered it
from Dabs or Scan or someone like that.

Ended up running down to Maplins instead and paying an excessive amount
instead.
