Buying Computer gear in Melbourne

There's a few places I source computer gear from, generally for their competitive prices as well as their wide range of stock.

• CPL - www.cpl.net.au, Computer & Parts Land, in Dudley St, West Melbourne, and Notting Hill (Mulgrave)
• Instant IT - www.instantit.com.au, order only over the net, office in Qld, warehouse in Sydney, excellent prices
• Computer World - www.cworld.com.au - now have a shop in Melbourne Central, but I have only shopped from the Blackburn shop
