Hey I was currently going to use Pccasegear to buy my parts. Problem is though that they are expensive. You might already know but geeze I was shocked when I compared it to tigerdirect (thinking of buyign from). I mean some of the prices were reduced heaps whilst alot were around $40 cheaper.
Pccasegear may look good, it really does but megapc looks better. No but seriously Pccasegear is quiet expensive.
Anyway it is up to you weather you use it or not I know why it attracted me.
EDIT: I just remembered that you have to convert US dollars to AUS dollars. Dam that means a higher cost.

Hey I was I thought of a few good PC stores in Australia that I have been lookign up.

www.itestate.com.au
www.megabuy.com.au
www.itsky.com.au
www.centrecom.com.au

The prices are awsome. I'm not sure how they compare to NewEgg (not for Aus) but they are much sweeter than PCcasegear.
I am not sure yet but I think I will be using a combination of those stores to get a monster build. You should check them out.
