Semiconductors

I didn't know about these people when I purchased my FETs, but they have a good reputation and have quoted the best price down this end of the globe:


Heatsinks

Conrad is a firm in Melbourne which actually manufactures heatsinks and are happy to sell them directly to "anyone who wants to buy them". The owner is happy to help-out where possible and the pricing is very reasonable:


PCB Materials

Computronics stock "Kinsten" positive-resist presensitised PCB materials, deleloper and etching solutions. These are a lot cheaper than the equivalent from Farnell and are good quality (A5 PCB).
