[plug] Prices

[Daniel Pearson]

Pricewise, I recommend Synnex - they generally tend to carry lots of 
stock on hand also. Just actually going in to pickup the goods can 
sometimes take a while ;-)

http://www.synnex.com.au/

I find DMA to be overpriced on most goods these days, unfortunately - 
they're more of a solutions provider now.

You may also want to check out Altech Distribution http://www.altech.com.au/

Cheers
