also PC Case Gear, Quality case accessories and components is probably the best i have ever used, although not usually the cheapest the stuff gets here within 48 hours and the custoemr service is great.

2nd for PC Case Gear.
I personally avoid pluscorp, early last year I bought my striker extreme through them, which failed, and after trying to get them to take care of it, they said they can't, because they were no longer the same 'plus corp' and under new ownership after liquidation.
So I've decided not to support them.

I'm interested in the suggestions here, I've found that most cheap vendors use the ebay approach and make up their profit on the freight, even for single small items to Darwin I often find they want to charge $50.
Recently I've been getting people in Sydney to buy stuff from MSY and either bring it back on plane or send it up via mail.

Ive bought a few systems from Scorptec and had no problems, but i guess none of the parts have been faulty so haven't really had to deal with after sales customer service or anything.

If I'm not buying it through Kane, I buy it from umart.net.au (not to be confused with the chain umart).
Good prices, and same/next day delivery. Absolutely fantastic service.

I've purchased stuff through ITSKY and they were pretty good on price and delivery.
Auspcmarket were also good to deal with although the courier company that delivered my goods left about $500 worth of gear sitting on my doorstep without a signature or anything! But that's a seperate issue.
Have used Pluscorp through the old management and they were great. I think the same guy who owned it before is still working for them too so hopefully he still has a say in how things are run because he was great.
Other than that I have heard good things about Scorptec and PC Case Gear but I have not used them personally due to the prices being a little bit more than the others.

Crappy warranty service if I may say so. A lot of stuffing around. Other then that bought from them a few times and no probs.
Scorptec has treated me well for years now so I do like buying from there. PC Case Gear also.

I cant really comment on the service and next day but the freight deal sucks, chose tnt freight thinking it would be quicker than Austpost and found out it was by road took about 8 -10 days. For a modem and a switch it cost around $30 of $40 - wont be using them again.
PC Case gear, macotechnology, scorptech and hboutlet have been used with no real major issues
But prefer to use PC Case gear unless they dont have what i want
