Try Productivety Computer Systems (pcs), www.pcs.co.uk - I've used them
often for "second user" (recon) machines at work, and found them to be very
good.  They have offices at Wakefield and London.  Glancing at their
website, they only show new stuff - you will have to call them.

For extra disks, memory, etc., I've also found transtec, www.transtec.co.uk
are also pretty good.

I haven't actually bought personal use from these companies, since I have to
have a workstation at home to access and monitor our work systems, and have
managed to nobble an ss20 (that was just to make you jealous).

Many individuals and companies sell things on http://www.ebay.com .  You can
get their names from their auction listings if you don't want to actually
bother with the auction.  Check the completed auctions to get an idea of
recent asking prices for the systems you want.  Things tend to get bid up at
the last possible minute, so the current bid is not necessarily a reflection
of the final price.  You can check for local auctions only if it matters to
you.
