    As title, in terms of price/performance, build quality, customer service, warranty terms etc.

    All opinions appreciated! My country is the UK. Looking for a seller from this list.

    Cheers!

    Can't recommend PWNPCs highly enough.

    Bought my P150SM from them. Brilliant guys.

    I've tried their website, but it doesn't work on either Chrome or IE10. The configuration options bug out and reset all the time to their defaults. Odd.

    After each selection, it takes roughly 15-20 seconds to update itself. Give it time. Works in Chrome, I've uninstalled IE.

    Hmmm not ideal, you'd have thought they would have hired half-decent web designers. Waiting 30 seconds for each individual selection is such a chore. But, if the actual service they provide is good, then I guess it's worth it in the end. Cheers, I'll take another look.

    Which one provides best cooling or are they all exactly the same?
