Maybe we just have higher standards for customer service in the UK (?!?), 
but something so simple would normally be done while-you-wait by a reputable 
place, and a quote of 3-5 days is simply beyond belief. Sounds more like cow 
pats than back pats!

I'm a little curious which national dealer you are using that turns  
around a power supply replacement on a year+-old computer in six hours?

We need to give them some back pats here.
