There are IIRC 5 top-level IBM dealers in the UK. The one I have used is Hemini in Borehamwood. I went to visit their offices because if I paid cash I saved 4% credit card surcharge :-) They're really friendly. They're also reachable by public transport if you are sufficiently determined to walk from Thameslink. I would recommend them.
