My two cents: I've purchased from a few different interstate e.g. Computer Market Online, Scorpion Technology ... Zytech *heh heh - just kidding Greg*, and US stores such as Other world Computing (for Mac stuff like cpu upgrades and video cards that go for twice the price in Oz). Sometimes I'll get a consignment number _after_ the package arrives on my doorstep, but some would argue that isn't cause for complaint. ;-)
Locally, Netplus Micro computers have been good value for platform-agnostict stuff (their service is a little rough, but no-where near as bad as Austin computers) and Zytech (Bunbury based but next day turnarounds so it's not an issue). For Mac specific stuff locally, I think we're spoiled for choice (considering our marketshare :) Nextbyte in Nedlands, Digilife (Perth CBD and Hawthorn), Applecentre Joondalup, Artref in Jolimont, Team Digital (was Desktop Applications) - and the eternally helpful Daniel at Macwizardry (Apologies if I've missed anyone).
