At the moment could only find some amateurs here in Italy, nobody can compete with the allmighty overclockers.co.uk.

Edit: BTW:

Yeah Aussie prices aren't that much better

with AUD$1 = £0.42 or US$0.65

i7 920 = AUD$595-620 = £250-260
i7 940 = AUD$999-1199 = £420-504
i7 965EE = AUD$2050-2299 = £861-966

[Clunk]

Yeah they look pretty grim too, although the £420 for a 940 looks a little more easy on the wallet than our cheapest of £516.

Aria:

i920 £247.69 (inc. VAT)

i940 £480.58 (inc. VAT)

Skt 1366 Mobos @ Aria

Looks like aria come out on top so far.

Edit: Dabs don't have aything 1366 yet. They're usually more expensive than other places anyway.

I hadn't heard of them till i saw ads for them on the old home page before the google ads went away.
Site looks slick, not that will tell us anything.

I wouldnt buy from them either unless i had more info on them, so maybe strike them from the list for now.

[Clunk]

I've seen dinopc come up on several google searches, but I haven't bought from them and I don't know anyone else that has, so I think we can leave them out for now.

I should also make it clear that I'm not recommending any particular etailer here, just pointing out the difference in prices.
