Warranty is as good as the trader is honest, some regularly attend, some do one and bail. I've never found the prices particularly great.

Good god don't buy anything from Overclockers - their customer service is totally shit!!!
I'd advise using CCL or Scan.

As Ian said.
I got to these on a regular basis, if you only buy from trust worthy companies (or individuals) that are there on a regular basis then its ok.
I have bought a few items from there and had no problems.

I've got Scan a 5 minute drive up the road, so have no need to go to computer fairs!
