===International Stores===
Not a lot of modding stores overseas ship to Australia.
One store which has good prices and ships internationally including Australia. Is Performance PC's http://www.performance-pcs.com. They have one of the largest range of modding supplies in the world even! I have bought from them. There shipping prices are good value to.
(Ship to Australia)
A large number of international ebay sellers are selling all mod ware to Australia. Just remember you are dealing with individuals not companies so don't buy mod ware from Honest Yuri who has a feedback of 1. http://www.ebay.com.au. Also to pay people for your goods you will need to use paypal http://www.paypal.com to pay people securely.
Hope this helps any fellow Australian modders in there quest to make their case a work of art.

Re: Australian Modding Supplies Guide
PC Case Gear and DSE have failed me for the last time. They're annoying to buy from and their customer service stinks more than poo on a stick.
