I quite like noel leeming aswell. But I would also be having a look at computerlounge, ascent and maybe pbtech. Theres probably a heap more but you will usually get a better deal from one of those rather than a large retailer.

+1 Toaster shops are rubbish, the sales staff lie and the so called techs are a sad joke!!!

I find that DSE does have pretty good deals sometimes, as long as you ignore the stupid salespersons:p

I'm not saying "Don't use them" because they are expensive, most of the time you can get great deals from the toaster shops and interest free with no payments until the cows come home etc etc.
I'm saying "Don't use them" because the after sales service will be hopeless at best. If they do have their own techs they are usually not very good (I know as I worked at one of these places straight out of school) and if they don't then your machine will have to be sent away to who-knows-where for repair and could be away for 2-3 weeks.
