I'm with Mike on this one. (Hello again Mike, how's the business? - your 
old mate S.B..)

VIP do offer excellent prices on grey imports, and if you're happy with  
indecipherable manuals, oddball drivers and don't mind getting your hands 
dirty then VIP are great. However, they are box shifters first and foremost, 
and personally, I've found their returns department to be alternately half 
hearted and aggressive. 

Scan  computers in  Bolton  are a happy compromise for buyers looking for 
VIP'ish prices, but with some degree of after sales support. They are 
slightly more expensive, but in my experience offer marginally better after 
sales support (their attitude is definitely more accomodating).
